Several planets will line up beautifully along the ecliptic in what is often called a planetary parade. SGC will host an observing evening to catch this special alignment right after sunset. Due to our latitude, we won’t be able to see every planet on the same evening, but we expect to observe up to three planets with the naked eye, and possibly Uranus and Neptune using binoculars or telescopes.

We'll have snacks and (warm) beverages available.

If you have a telescope you’d like to use but need help with transport, please reach out to us - we’re happy to coordinate.
