Naked Eye Astronomy

February 9 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

the night sky with stars and Milky Way

Join OCCA on a night of Naked Eye Astronomy. The mid-February sky sparkles with arguably the best star field of the year. We will explore many first magnitude and brighter stars and the constellations with which they are associated. Additionally, the planet Jupiter will be visible. We also hope to view the most distant object visible to the naked eye…located 2.5 million light years away M31 The Andromeda Galaxy.

Please, bring comfortable folding chairs and dress warmly! We will meet before the presentation in the workshop on site and then return indoors afterward for hot chocolate. Free!

Stargazing is best with 100% clear and dark skies. The program will be postponed until February 10th if Jim Hill deems the skies and weather unfavorable on the 9th.
