Town Creek Under the Stars: Equinox Edition

Join us for socially distanced star-gazing beneath one of the last great dark sky sites in central NC and learn more about the heavens above!  The evening begins with our "What's Up!" presentation at 7pm. This program provides information about what to look for that night and a little of the folklore associated with it. Then, take in the darkening view as the Milky Way stretches high overhead, from horizon to horizon.  Bring your telescope or binoculars to observe gas giants Saturn and Jupiter. Participants should dress for the weather and may wish to bring a red light to help them see in the darkness. Chairs and blankets welcome. 

Registration is required via Eventbrite.
