Astronomy Night with Sugar Creek Astronomical Society

We will begin with an indoor program presented by Jack McDaniel. This presentation introduces key features of the solar system, including scale. We’ll explore the major and minor planets, their moons, asteroids, comets and meteors. Props and volunteers from the audience are used to illustrate the distance and size scales. Weather and cloud cover permitting, outdoor viewing will begin about 8:30 p.m. Club members will bring high quality amateur telescopes for public viewing. Items you may wish to bring include a red light, binoculars, and a lawn chair. Reservations not required. Recommended for ages 8+. *Please note: While this event is being held at an Arkansas State Park, it is organized and hosted independently.
