Sept 13th (8:45pm): Even though it is getting dark substantially earlier by this point in the year, we’ll gather once Saturn has had a chance to come up over Boston. Saturn will be almost as close to Earth as it ever gets so while seeing it low to the horizon isn’t ideal, we’ll still be able to see its rings! Stay tuned for perhaps another chance later in the fall when Saturn is a little higher.
Jeff Alexander has been organizing Astronomy Nights at Robbins Farm Park for many years. These are typically on Saturday evenings. All scheduled dates are listed below, but check the event website for possible weather related changes. Each night he’ll have at least one telescope out to view objects in the night sky. The events are totally informal and fun for all ages.
