The Lyrids will be active from April 14th to April 30th, with the peak on April 21st and 22nd. We will observe the night sky for shooting stars, identify planets and constellations using a laser pointer, and learn how to use the stars like a compass! Binoculars and scopes will be available for use as well. We will utilize both the observation deck and lawn space outside the museum for viewing, so feel free to bring your own food/drinks, lawn chairs, and blankets to complete the experience.
