May 1: Shine On
We’re rooting for clear skies on May 1 so we can “Shine On” in the glow of a full moon with views of Venus, Jupiter and its moons, and some of the season’s brightest stars!

August 21: Summer Triangle
What’s that overhead? Learn the names and history of some of the brightest stars in the summer skies. You may uncover some surprises along the way.

September 18: Put a Ring On It
It’s everybody’s favorite planet in the solar system, and the hype is well-deserved! Beautiful Saturn will rise in the evening sky to show off its subtle stripes, radiant rings and many moons. If we’re lucky, we may catch Neptune, too!
