Backyard Astronomy

Walker Nature Center, Neighbor

Program requires registration - please register by June 25.

All ages (not recommended for preschoolers, please bring 1 adult for every 1-2 children)

Spend the first hour inside learning to use a star and constellation chart as well as key star finding terms. Make your own star finder or "planisphere" to determine which stars and constellations are visible. Then, we will head outdoors to the Lake Audubon Pool lot to explore the night sky - weather and clouds permitting. Please bring a telescope and binoculars if you have them. We will have a few that can be shared. Leader: Karen Elliott, VA certified Earth and Space Science Educator.
