The Spring Sky

April 11, 2015 @ 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
  • « Measuring the Dark
  • Finding Fossils »

Saturday April 11, 8 – 10 P.M.

Meet the constellations of Spring! The Lion, the Crab, and the Many-Headed Serpent are high in the sky, pursued by the hero who fought them all, Hercules. Join us to learn your way around the spring sky, hear some of the mythology behind the constellations, and see some of the telescopic treasures hidden within them. Highlights in the telescopes include star clusters in Cancer and Hercules, distant galaxies in Leo and Ursa Major, and our closer neighbors Venus and Jupiter. Meet at the Visitor Center.
