Description

Join us at the Saddlehorn Picnic Area parking lot to see the partial lunar eclipse!  This time it's a partial eclipse and only a small slice of the moon will be eclipsed.  It's a good chance to explore the night sky, learn about eclipses, and take a peek through a telescope.

Please arrive at least 10 minutes before the start of the program to minimize headlight and flashlight lights.  If you have one, use a red flashlight. This will help preserve everyone's night vision.

Bring a chair and insect repellant for your comfort.

Bringing pets is not recommended due to safety concerns.  Service dogs are welcome.

This is a weather permitting event and is subject to be cancelled.

Reservation or Registration: No
