On Saturday, October 20th, astronomers around the world will be spending their evening looking at the Moon. And, although that can be done with just your eyes, how would it appear if you had your own small telescope to observe it with? And, now, you will.
The members of Skyscrapers, Inc., will be introducing you to our nearest celestial neighbor, and then will be having you build your very own telescope to take home. Within just a short time, you will be able to observe the Moon and several other objects in the sky.
Because this telescope does contain several small parts, this program is open to family members with at least one adult. Cost is $10.00, and is limited to four families only.
To register, please contact Skyscrapers, Inc. President Steve Hubbard at cstahhs@gmail.com
