Even in the heart of the city, you will be able to see the craters of the Moon like you've never seen them before. If you see a telescope, make sure you say, "Hi."
Locations for the telescopes will be determined soon.

  Where are the Stars?
For thousands of years, our ancestors wondered about the nature of the stars. What were they? WHERE were they? How would we ever find out? In the first half of the 19th century, the mystery of the distances to the stars was solved. From this first success has come not only our understanding of interstellar distances, but of the size of the Universe itself. Come and learn how astronomers determine the distances to these celestial beacons, including the one technique upon which all others ultimately depend.

  Jupiter, The King of Planets!
When viewed with the naked eye, Jupiter looks like a very bright star. Through binoculars, it appears as a tiny disk. A large telescope, however, transforms it into magnificent swirling clouds of white, brown, blue and orange. Dark belts, white oval storms, the great red spot, and occasionally the shadows of one of the four moons are a visual delight. Explore Jupiter through the eyes of Voyager I and II, discuss the nature of this great planet, and delve into the mysteries that remain. If weather permits, you may look through the observatory telescope to see for yourself what a beautiful planet it is.
