Free Stargazing (Boulder)

posted Wednesday August 30, 2006

Friday Nights:  September 1 – December 8, 2006Jupiter &

Sommers-Bausch Observatory invites us to peer into one of their large telescopes or tripod-mounted binoculars on most Friday nights (when the weather is cooperative).  Stay as long as 2 or 3 hours and ask questions of the Grad students, professors, or other experts.  They’ll help you take a closer look at planets Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune, plus you can have a debate about the recently-demoted Pluto.  Nebula“Oooo” and “aaah” at galaxies and nebulae!

 

Not sure where to find your favorite constellation?  Consult the observatory’s 40-inch Planisphere (star-wheel), thought to be the world’s largest!
