Event
Star Gazing Under A Desert Full Moon
Sat, Oct 24 · 7:30pm–10pm · Art Smith Trailhead · Palm Desert
While the brilliant moonlight means the faintest, most distant galaxies will take a back seat tonight, it opens the door to a completely different astronomical spectacle. Our volunteer astronomers will turn their high-powered telescopes toward the Moon itself to explore its dramatic craters, mountain peaks, and ancient lava plains in stunning detail. You will enjoy a quiet, cool desert evening above the urban lights. Sorry no dogs allowed near the telescopes.
PLEASE NOTE: CHECK WEATHER BEFORE DEPARTING, THIS EVENT WILL BE CANCELED FOR HEAVY CLOUD COVER, WIND OR RAIN.
Reservations begin approximately 2 weeks prior to the event.
