Star Watch October 19, 2012

View the night sky with many large telescopes at the observatories. Typically the telescopes can show you star clusters, nebulous gas clouds, colorful multiple star systems and distant galaxies. You'll be able to see features of the bright planets and our nearest neighbor, the Moon. The instruments at Bays Mountain reveal thousands of craters, mountains and lava plains. Be sure to dress warmly, it can become very cold after the Sun goes down. If there is inclement weather, a free alternate live tour of the night sky in the planetarium theater will be available.
