Join members of the Ancient City Astronomy Club for an evening under the stars! Take a tour of the night sky and get a look at different types of telescopes used in astronomy. We will start just before dark to allow visitors to get familiar with the equipment, then a member of the Astronomy Club will talk about common celestial bodies, including constellations, planets, and stars. We invite you to bring your own telescopes and binoculars to enhance the experience.
