Family Astronomy

Stargazing may not be as popular in winter as it is in summer, but there’s still plenty to see: galaxies, nebulas and constellations, many visible with the naked eye or binoculars. At this program at the American Museum of Natural History, children will learn about the methods and tools used to observe these heavenly bodies. Afterward, if the weather allows, attendees will join members of the Amateur Astronomers Association of New York on the Arthur Ross Terrace for a close viewing through telescopes.
