Millennium Square Stargazing Night (GO for Friday)
Everyone is invited to join us and Durham Skies on August 25 for stargazing at the edge of Lake Ontario. Take a free look through different kinds of telescopes to get close-up views of craters on the Moon and spectacular Saturn and its rings! Learn the names of the stars of summer and the constellation patterns they form. Peer deep into space and try your hand at spotting faint star clusters and nebulae. You can even bring your own telescope along and we'll give you advice on how to use it better.
Everything gets underway at 6 PM but check our home page before heading out for a Go/No-Go call in case it's too cloudy to observe. (If we are clouded out, we will try the following evening, August 26.)
