Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: Stargazing

Clear skies permitting, we’ll be viewing a selection of objects through a portable telescope. Possibilities include planets, galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters!  We might even get lucky enough to view the elusive planet Mercury, which is at its furthest away from the Sun in early March, and so at its most viewable. We’ll also identify some major constellations with a laser pointer, and hear stories connected to them. Bring your sky-related questions! Family friendly program. Restrooms are available at the Nature Center. NO pets, please.

MEETING LOCATION: San Tan trailhead
