Enjoying the Treasures of the Summer Night Sky
July 14th, 2 – 3:30 pm
NC Arboretum online
Join us for an exploration of the treasures of the night sky as we
discover the constellations, bright stars, planets, and deep sky objects that fill the warm summer evening skies. During a daytime class we’ll review the basic use of planispheres and star charts to find our way around the night sky and learn about some of the rich collection of objects that are visible in binoculars and small telescopes. During the evening an optional stargazing gathering will be offered for participants.

Meteor Showers and How to See Them
NC Arboretum
Aug 11th, 2-3:30 pm, with observing on Aug 12th, 9:30 – 11 pm
Meteor showers are one of the most spectacular regular celestial events that don’t require any special equipment to view them. Called “shooting stars,” “falling stars,” or meteors, these spectacular streaks in the sky have been a source of wonder for millennia. This class will cover the origin and nature of meteor showers as well as the best times and ways to observe them. We’ll pay special attention to the Perseid meteor shower, which is one of the most reliable and remarkable showers this time of year. Weather permitting, we’ll plan a meteor shower viewing for the evening after this class.
