NWAMN - Astronomy Night with Sugar Creek Astronomical Society

About this event

This Hobbs State Park event will begin with an indoor program including an introduction to well-known astronomers born in March, what’s up in tonight’s sky, and Messier objects. The Messier objects are a group of deep sky objects catalogued by the French astronomer Charles Messier in the late 18th century. Weather and cloud cover permitting, outdoor viewing will begin about 6:30 p.m. The moon will appear near the Pleiades star cluster, or 7 Sisters, and can be observed in the constellation Aries. Club members will bring high quality amateur telescopes for public viewing. Items you may wish to bring include a red light, binoculars, and a lawn chair. Reservations not required.
