Stony Brook Middle School, 9 Farmer Way, Westford — 50 Main St., Westford, MA
Join us for an evening of stargazing at Stony Brook Middle School's Field! We'll go stargazing with members of the Amateur Telescope Makers of Boston. They will bring along their telescopes to get a great look at the night sky. Please feel free to bring along your own telescope too! This program is for all ages (recommended for ages 5+). We will need clear skies, so please check our website for updates. This event is weather dependent; a rain date is scheduled for Thursday, October 22nd at 6:00 p.m. Questions? Please email us at youthservices@westfordma.gov . A star party is a gathering of amateur astronomers who set up their telescopes and other observing equipment so attendees can view the night sky. It is wonderful way to see things that you normally can't see without a telescope. During a typical start party you may view the moon, planets, stars, galaxies and more. Please park by the school and walk back up the hill to the viewing area next to the baseball diamond. We need to keep the car headlights away from the telescopes for this program. Questions? Please email us at youthservices@westfordma.gov . Want to see what may be on view that night? Take a look at October's SkyMap…
