Early August is Milky Way viewing time, and, as it gets dark, the center of our galaxy is on display along with the planet Saturn. We'll start inside with a slide show, then move outside for telescopic views with host Val Germann from the Central Missouri Astronomical Association. Ages 6-adult. Registration required. (Enter at Secret Garden, west end of main parking lot.)

Early August is Milky Way viewing time, and, as it gets dark, the center of our galaxy is on display along with the planet Saturn (after 9 p.m.). We'll start inside with a slide show on this evening's stars, including an "inside" look at the black hole at our galaxy's center. Then, we'll move outside for a telescopic view of that center plus a laser star tour and views of Saturn.

Hosted by Val Germann and co-sponsored by the Central Missouri Astronomical Association.

Ages 6-adult. Please register all members of your group. (Enter at the Gene Martin Secret Garden, west end of main parking lot.)
