- **Event Description**: Are you an amateur astronomer or simply curious about the night sky? Members of the Indiana Astronomical Society will provide a variety of telescopes and equipment so you can learn more about the tools used in stargazing. If you own a telescope you would like to learn more about, bring it along and don't forget the manual. After sunset, you'll be able to view Mars, galaxies, and star clusters with knowledgeable members of IAS.
