Space...the final frontier...and perhaps your next family night out!
The Lake Afton Public Observatory is a great experience where kids AND adults can explore the wonders of space through the incredible 16-inch telescope!
Imagine seeing the rings of Saturn with your very own eyes, or details in the craters of the moon. If you look closer, you can see the lunar mountains!
Depending on the evening’s program, you might spot glowing clouds of gas and dust in stellar nurseries, dying stars or incredible star clusters. Hard to believe these are HUGE areas of gas are trillions of miles away!
Keep and eye out for some other galaxies too - it is very possible! We are in the Milky Way galaxy, but there are THOUSANDS of others out there just like ours!
In addition to touring the universe, you get to explore the Observatory's exhibit area with its interactive astronomy exhibits and computer displays. There are new exhibits and special events held, which really give you an insight into how incredible out universe really is.
If you think you have seen the night sky from your back garden, think again! You will see things you never thought possible at Lake Afton Public Observatory!
Space...is no longer the final frontier - it is a great way to spend the evening with the family!
