This Fun event gives people the opportunity to see the Night Sky through professional telescopes with Astronomers assisting on the Upper Parking Lot. What better way to celebrate our Advent Theme: The Star by taking time to actually look at the stars and planets God has created. The Event is Free.
Sunset for that night is 4:42 PM. The Moon, Saturn and Jupiter will be up most of the
evening. If you come early, Venus should be visible for about 2 hours after sunset. We will
have on display a Galileo scope which is a working model of the telescope that Galileo used
in 1610 when he discovered the four major moons around Jupiter. When you look through
this model you will see the same image Galileo would have seen.
The Scouts will be selling grilled hamburgers, hot dogs, and drinks. Desserts and treats will
be sold by Carolyn Collosi with all proceeds going to the non-profit organization Engage to
Go.
The Boy Scouts will also be showing the movie WALL-E.
