Stargazing with Tim Brothers!

Monday Night's Forecast: 70 something & Stargazing ready-- Sunset at 8:27pm!

Join us at the Fitz on June 30th for an astronomy tour of the night sky over Pepperell!

Starting at 8:30PM we will begin the program inside for a short presentation on what we hope to see outside, what equipment is necessary to stargaze and why Pepperell's night sky preservation efforts are special. We will then spend the next hour viewing a variety of objects through telescopes, including the Moon, Mars, an asteroid, star clusters and a nebula. The outside portion of the event is weather dependent and we will communicate any adjustments to the schedule.
