| Stargazing is fun for the whole family! |
|
|
A lot of activities are up in the air this summer, but there is one attraction that never closes — the night sky. Backyard astronomy is a great way to pass a warm evening, and the season has plenty of sights to offer. For example, you can: • Check out the Summer Triangle — an iconic asterism formed by the three brilliant stars Vega, Altair and Deneb; • Enjoy amazing views of Jupiter and Saturn as they move into prime viewing positions in July; or • Discover the true beauty of the lunar terrain by touring its cratered surface. With a telescope and a clear sky, you can turn your family's summer into an out-of-this-world adventure! |
