This Friday, January 13, g2g Outside invites your family to the Lake Afton Observatory Just off McArthur Rd (north) near 247th St W, in Lake Afton Park (3 miles south and 3 miles west of Goddard).
We will meet at 7:15pm in order to catch the program at 7:30. We will participate in the Women in Astronomy Program, check out what wonders we can see in space from the 16-inch telescope, then we can learn even more in the hands-on museum.
Kids and adults can be awestruck with the vastness and fantastic objects that can be found in space. This may be a trip that sparks a lifelong love of the night-sky or desire to pursue a career in science. Don’t miss out!
Your family is welcome to stay as long as you’d like, Observatory closes at 10pm. Dress for cold weather, the observatory (the room with the telescope) is not heated. You can warm up in the museum.
The first 50 participants get in Free, courtesy of g2g Outside. After the first 50, entrance fees are on your own. $5 adults, $3 kids 6-12, 6 & under are free.
During this telescope session we’re going to see: Jupiter, a giant blue star, a supernova remnant, a nebula and a spiral galaxy.
