Astronomy Night at Providence Canyon
By Coca-Cola Space Science Center

 

We welcome you to join us for a night under the stars, on Saturday, April 8, at Providence Canyon State Park.

Beginning at 8:30 p.m. EDT, Dr. Rosa Williams will open with a presentation highlighting Spring constellations and interesting celestial objects. Then (weather permitting) we will move to set up around the field to take a closer look at planets Venus and Mars, as well as “dark-sky” objects like the Orion, Cone, and  Owl Nebulas; the Beehive and other "open" star clusters; and globular cluster M3.  With clear weather, we may even be able to catch sight of the Milky Way!

Providence Canyon State Park may charge for parking.
