Skywatching/Stargazing with Central PA Observers
We are so excited to announce that our public stargazing/skywatching nights are returning in 2022! The Central PA Observers, a local membership organization, will be providing local volunteers and their telescopes for each evening's stargazing activity! You'll be able to peer into our vast galaxy and look at stars, planets, other galaxies, and even experience a close-up of the Earth's moon!
These events are held in the evening hours, so you may want to bring a flashlight to help you make your way from the parking area to the pavilions. Once you're safely on-site, it's "lights off!" Weather cancellations will be posted on this website's Urgent Alert and here on the Special Events page. Cloudy skies can cancel a stargazing depending on the percent of cloud cover! Please dress warmly for the evening temperatures, and wear closed-toe (and warm) footwear. These events are open to all ages, are FREE, and registration is not required!
