Astronomy Night July 30, 2011

The evening begins with our half-hour "Junior Astronomer" program for children ages 5-12. Immediately following the kids' program will be a multi-media presentation on the latest in U.S. space research. Then join our Volunteer Star Guide for a night sky tour. Finish the evening by looking at deep space objects through large telescopes provided by members of the Northern Virginia Astronomy Club. If the sky is cloudy, only the "Junior Astronomer" and multi-media programs will be presented and the park gates will close at 9:00 p.m. This program is presented in partnership with the National Air & Space Museum and the NASA/JPL Solar System Ambassadors program. Parking:$5/per vehicle.
