Astronomy Night with Sugar Creek Astronomical Society

Hobbs State Park-Conservation Area

What to know

We will begin with an indoor program in the Discovery Classroom about the moon and its effects (phases, tides, and eclipses). Weather permitting, the outdoor viewing will begin at 8:45 p.m. when we will be observing Venus, Mercury, Mars, the moon, stars and star clusters. Items you may wish to bring include a flashlight covered with a red cloth (or red balloon) and a folding chair. If you have binoculars or a star chart, feel free to bring them, but club members will bring telescopes to share with the public. Recommended for ages 8 and up. Reservations not required.
