Naked Eye Astronomy

March 20 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

the night sky with stars and Milky Way

Join OCCA on Friday evening, March 20, at Beaver Valley Campground for a tour of the early spring skies. If the skies are clear, we will see many of the spectacular winter stars, along with a harbinger of spring: the constellation Leo and its beautiful first-magnitude star, Regulus. Regulus is actually a multiple star system and is relatively close to our sun. Mighty Jupiter will also be high in the sky that night and easily visible. No need for binoculars; after all, it’s “naked-eye astronomy.” Dress comfortably and bring lawn chairs to sit on. Please sign up at occainfo.org
