The Farms: Saturday Stargazing

Experience Level: Beginner

Join the Champaign-Urbana Astronomical Society for Saturday Stargazing from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 9 at the Sun Singer.

Enjoy a night of stargazing, finding constellations and spotting deep space objects through telescopes. Participants are welcome to arrive any time between 7:30 and 8:30 p.m., bring a picnic and play lawn games as the sun sets. The best views start at 8:45 p.m., with the event wrapping up by 10:30 p.m.

Participants are encouraged to bring a telescope if they own one, but it is not required in order to participate.

$5/person (all ages). Register here. Registration is encouraged by Sept. 6, but you may also show up and pay the night of the event. All sales are final.

NOTE: This event is contingent on the weather, and will be cancelled if there are clouds, rain or other weather that would obstruct the night sky.

If you will need disability-related accommodations in order to participate, please email owarren@illinois.edu.
