A moonless sky lets us take a look for some of the fainter objects way outside our solar system. We’ll find double stars, star clusters, and depending on the conditions, maybe even a nebula or two. Light pollution is a major factor here, but we’ll do our best. The Moon rises after an hour or so, a nice view over Boston!
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. Weather permitting, the dates are as follows:

• Saturday, July 12th (9:15pm)
• Saturday August 2nd (8:00pm)
• Saturday, Sept 13th (8:45pm)
