Join us Friday, Sept. 15, 7 p.m. at Millennium Park for a wonderful night of viewing the stars, planets, galaxies, and nebula!
We’ll begin the night with a presentation from the local Amateur Astronomers Association of Pittsburgh and learn what can be seen in our own “Milky Way” galaxy plus other galaxies that are millions of miles away.
After the presentation, guests will be able to look through telescopes provided by volunteers. Explanations of what’s being viewed will be given along with answering any questions that you may have. If you have your own telescope and aren’t sure how to use it, bring it along and someone from the Astronomers Association will help you get set up! You can even bring binoculars.
Star hopping techniques to find galaxies, nebula and interesting stars will be shown to those who ask as well!
Be sure to visit our Park & Play Page to learn about all of our summer events.
