Join us for a fun and creative night out as we explore the science behind the equinoxes and solstices. Discover why there are two times each year when day and night are nearly equal in length, the equinoxes, and what’s happening in the months between as we move toward longer summer days or shorter winter ones during the solstices. Through hands-on activities and a bit of cosmic perspective, you’ll experience some of the same playful learning our young astronauts enjoy. The evening wraps up with a guided tour of the Observatory and telescope viewing, weather permitting.
The cost is $30 per person. Price includes materials for the activity, snacks, and drinks.
