Find your way around the night sky by learning the bright seasonal constellations, current planets and satellites. Understand how planets and Moon move, the reason some constellations are visible in one season and not another and where Earth fits into the big picture. We'll begin with a classroom session on campus, take a dinner break and then weather permitting, we’ll go out at night for close-up looks of the Moon, Jupiter and Saturn, and a rich assortment of star clusters and nebulae through the telescope. Class will be held even in the event of inclement weather.

You will need the following tools for this class:

• Warm clothes in case of chilly weather
• bug spray (optional)
• a pair of binoculars if you have them (not required).

• Download the free StarChart app available for iPhone and Android. We’ll be using it during class and outside at night. Find it online by googling Star Chart app.
