Tour of the Heavens
Join astronomers Roy Bishop, Larry Bogan, Pat Kelly, and Sherman Williams for a tour of the night sky.

Location: The old parking lot at Grand Pre National Park, on the east side of the road next to the dykelands. The tour will start with the planet Mars, possibly Saturn very low in the southwestern sky, and the brighter stars visible to the unaided eye. Later, Neptune and Uranus are on the agenda, together with star clusters and galaxies.

Although there will be some on hand, please feel free to bring your own telescope and/or binoculars.

This event is sponsored by the Blomidon Naturalist Society and Valley Family Fun.
