Jupiter Rising

January 17, 2015 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
  • « Hike for your Health
  • Florissant Fossil Beds Entrance Fees Waived »

Milky_way_1The King of the Planets is back! Jupiter is rising in the east, returning to the early evening sky. And it’s not alone: the small but dynamic Comet Lovejoy is close by and changing day by day. Follow in the historic footsteps of Galileo, Halley, and Messier, as we discover Jupiter’s moons and the comet’s tail, explore the nightly movements of these objects, and compare them to some of the “comet impostors” that never move. Meet at the Visitor Center.
