Peak at the Perseids at a special star party with The Northeast Kingdom Astronomy Foundation and Fairbanks Museum and Planetarium!
Join us for an evening of observing under clear skies using our collection of portable telescopes out on the lawn. Observe and discuss with neighbors, amateur astronomers, adults and kids. Also learn a few basic tips on night sky photography from Fairbanks Museum staff member and local photographer Sarah Walls of Cedarbrook Studio.
Listen live to Eye on the Sky's Mark Breen live on VPR as he gives us a tour of the cosmos. He'll answer your questions about the stars, planets, and constellations. We'll also be watching for the Perseid Meteor Shower, which will be approaching its peak.
