Public Stargazing Night Friday, April 24, 2026 from 8:30-9:30pm

This coming Friday night (April 24th) promises a clear, spring sky - perfect for Moon and planet gazing!  Thus, the Horizons Observatory will host a public star party event from 8:30-9:30 (weather permitting).  After a brief naked eye tour of the early spring night sky, the observatory’s 14” Celestron telescope and 10” inch Meade scope should provide stunning views of both the 1st quarter Moon and Jupiter with its accompanying “Galilean” moons.  Each of these celestial objects promise to offer a superb views using the Horizons Observatory’s telescopes.

Given it will be a cold spring evening, dress warmly.  Please do not bring flashlights since this will reduce our ability to view the sky.
