The Stars of Summer

August 22, 2014 @ 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
  • « Wildflower Walk
  • FLFO 45th Anniversary Celebration »

The summer sky is full of wonders. Join us as we explore stars and constellations, the Milky Way at its best, and a host of other treasures for amateur sky-watchers. Special treats tonight include the planets Saturn and Mars, flybys by the International Space Station and other satellites, and many of our favorite star clusters, nebulae, and distant galaxies. Meet at the Visitor Center.

Please dress warmly, as evenings at the park’s high elevation can be cool even in the summer. Bring binoculars or a flashlight if you wish (red-filtered lights only please). Also, please note that viewing is weather-dependent, and takes place only if the sky is clear. Ranger-led talks take place rain or shine.
Admission for the program is the regular park entrance fee which is $3 per adult (16 years and older) children and federal pass holders are free. Please call (719) 748-3253 ext. 202 for more information.
