Night sky at Sky Meadows
Meets behind Mount Bleak.
Our evenings begin with a half-hour children's "Junior Astronomer" program, followed by a discussion about the importance of dark skies and light conservation. Then join NASA Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL) Ambassadors for a presentation on the latest news in astronomy. Visitors should bring their own lawn chairs and/or blankets. Next, get oriented to the celestial skies with a brief sky tour. Finish the evening by relaxing and enjoying the beautiful night sky with the members of the Northern Virginia Astronomy Club. Feel free to bring your telescope or binoculars for your own exploration.
Entrance gates close one hour after program start time.
$5/car parking fee.
