Astronomy Along the River
Wenatchee River Institute 347 Division Street, WA, United StatesJoin Park Ranger Paul Tomas and local Wenatchee Valley Astronomy Club members on a family friendly journey through space. Using a variety of telescopes, we’ll gaze up into the Milky Way and learn about some of the best night sky objects to view. From the stunning rings of Saturn and planetary nebulas, to large cataclysmic supernova remnants we’ll journey through our own galaxy and even take a look at neighboring ones.
During this program we’ll also explore the basics of telescope use, the different types of telescopes, and some helpful tricks to enhance your experience in star gazing.
Please dress for the fall evening weather as we will be outside the entire time.
