We’re stargazing soon, so save the date! This will be a live class with both Aurora and a real astronomer (Kent Wallace). We will be taking you on a tour of the night sky so you can star gaze right from home!
Summer is filled with warm, late nights sparkling with stars, planets and meteor showers! We are going to focus on objects you can see with binoculars or small telescope.
(Aurora uses Orion’s UltraViews and also recommends the less expensive Celestron – Cometron 7×50 Bincoulars
We’ll also show you how to use Star Charts to help you navigate and find objects. You can download your sky map free here: Click here to download the current SkyChart.
During our time together, you’ll be able to interact with Aurora and Kent, ask questions, and gain insight on the next objects to search for to take your star gazing to the next level. It will be like watching a planetarium star show only from your computer screen!
We will bring you you a virtual “tour of the night sky” where you can discover, learn, and ask questions as we go along! All you need is an internet connection. You can use an iPad, laptop, computer or cell phone. When 7pm on Saturday night rolls around, click the link below to join our class. (Link coming soon!)
Yes, we will be covering the entire Northern Hemisphere, with a few highlights for southern as well because our students are worldwide. You will be able to go outside after our talk and be able to look up and start stargazing right away.
The class timing will not work for everyone, which is why it will be recorded and posted so you could watch it anytime that is most convenient for you.
Hi, we are in eastern time zone so 7 for you is 10 for us. If I look at the sky here at 10 will I see what you’re seeing there? I’m guessing so but I didn’t want to stay up late for nothing…
