Ready to see the night sky in a whole new light? As we continue our Science in the Parks series, we are excited to journey across the cosmos with the University of Chicago’s Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics, the Chicago Astronomer Crew led by Joe Guzman, and--of course--the Chicago Park District to bring astronomy to West Pullman Park!
Whether you’re a first-time viewer or a seasoned veteran of the night sky this program should be a blast! Together we will experience the conjunction of Jupiter, Saturn, and the moon under night skies, and learn what is happening in the solar system this fall, from seasonal deep space objects to upcoming meteor showers and eclipses.
