Join us on our Facebook Group to watch the second attempted launch of Crew Dragon! The first one, on Wednesday May 27th, was scrubbed because of weather. We'll try again today!

Launch is scheduled for 3:22pm ET.

Looking for a way to capture the day with your kids? Check out Valeria Rodriguez's website for a printable sheet for your kids to fill out as you watch.

Winter Observing

As we wrap up our series, we'll go over a few easy winter targets to get you started on your next season of observing. Join us to take a look at winter favourites such as Orion, Taurus, the Pleiades and the Orion Nebula. We will also take lots of time for questions in this session before sending you off on your next observing adventure!

Zodiacal Light

We're catching a few last targets and going over some previous ones that you may have missed from earlier in this series. We're going to do our best to see the Zodiacal Light this week too. You need a very specific set of conditions to be able to see it, which makes it one of the most challenging targets on the list!

Mars and the Planets

It's a great week for some planetary observing! Mars is at opposition, which means it'll be big and bright and beautiful as we come between it and the Sun. This only happens about once every two years, so seize the day and let's look at Mars!

Autumn Equinox

Happy Fall Equinox! We'll spend this session talking a bit about what equinoxes and solstices actually are, and will then jump into some lunar targets. Later in the week we will see another Jupiter-Saturn-Moon conjunction too, so get ready to check it out!
