Come to the Gorman Nature Center and learn some things about the moon and stars, explore the constellations and planets, and take home a free star chart while having all of your astronomical questions answered.

 The Night Sky is a monthly, outdoor astronomy program at Gorman Nature Center.  Participants should be able to see some really awesome constellations, gaze at some planets, (like Jupiter, Saturn and Venus) and maybe even a few galaxies!  Telescopes and binoculars will be available for use, but please feel free to bring your own.

Program will be held ONLY if the sky is clear.   Please inquire about our astronomy email list as another attempt may be made a different evening if the weather does not cooperate. Call 419-884-3764 for details!
