Oh My Stars! An Astronomy Program
Tentatively Rescheduled for Saturday February 1, 2020 6:30 PM – 8:30 PMCancelled – Will Be Rescheduled
Weather permitting, Ft. Pulaski National Monument will be hosting members of the Oglethorpe Astronomical Association for a free public observing program. The members will be setting up telescopes of all sizes to observe an assortment of objects including the Moon, Venus, and possibly Mercury, Neptune and Uranus. We’ll also have views of several deep sky objects such as the Great Orion Nebula, the Andromeda Galaxy, the Double Cluster in Perseus, the M41 star cluster in the constellation Canis Major; just to name a few.
The event will run from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM, but the gates will close for entry promptly at 7:30 PM and further entry into the park will not be permitted at that point. Saturday February 1st will be the rain date if the weather doesn’t cooperate on Friday.
