SUMMARY:Skygazing on Talcott Mountain
DESCRIPTION:This program is for adults and families with children ages 4+ (children must be accompanied by adult). \nJoin us for an unforgettable evening of stargazing at Talcott Mountain Science Center’s mountaintop campus on October 3 at 6:30 PM! You’ll begin the evening in our planetarium with a guided tour of the constellations and celestial objects visible in the night sky. Then you’ll take a short walk outside to our observatories for viewing! Use our powerful telescopes to view Saturn\, Venus at sunset\, and possibly even catch a glimpse of early Draconid meteors! \nPlease remember to dress warmly in layers; we’ll be outdoors for much of the evening. This is a perfect opportunity for astronomy enthusiasts and curious minds alike to experience the wonders of the night sky in a beautiful setting high above the Farmington Valley! \n$25/Adults (Ages 14+)\n$15/Children (Under 14) \nPURCHASE TICKETS ONLINE\nIn the event of cancellation due to inclement weather\, we will contact the primary registrant via email and phone (assuming both email and phone number have been provided). A final call on weather will be made no later than noon the day of the event. \nIf you have any questions prior to the event\, please don’t hesitate to contact Danielle Limata at 860.677.8571 or email dlimata@tmsc.org.
