Summer Skies: A Stellar Performance
What could be more inspiring than a starry sky on a clear summer night! Learn your way around the skies with an introductory experience to the constellations, planets, and moons that dazzle summer evenings. Perhaps a chance to see a meteor is in your stars!

Learn your way around the Universe, find constellations, use simple star charts, and even observe through the college's big telescope! From nearby Luna, to the planets, to distant places in space where stars are even now being born—there is so much to discover! Cost includes an adult and young person as well as course materials (supplemental materials will be available for purchase, if desired). You may register an additional young person for $19.
