Time: 6:00 - 9:00 pm (Note: feel free to stop by anytime within these hours and stay for as long as you want!)

Please register if you plan to attend by visiting Astronomy in the Park 2024. AB STEAM is partnering with Acton Conservation Trust (ACT) to host the Amateur Telescope Makers of Boston who will be sharing their incredible telescopes for a family star party.  The moon will be at its first quarter phase and Jupiter will be rising in the early evening skies with Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune already up for viewing!
 
This event is open to everyone and perfect for families, but no pets please. Families with 7th graders are encouraged to attend, as Astronomy is part of the 7th grade curriculum. **Ages 18 and under must be accompanied by an adult!** Dress warmly... bring several layers and perhaps a hat and gloves. We will be outdoors with plenty of hot beverages and other refreshments for you to enjoy.

Clouds or rain will cancel observing. We will consult the local weather forecast and contact you by 2:00 p.m. that day (November 6) with a GO/NO GO decision. We will also put the decision on our website.
 
This event is co-sponsored by AB STEAM and Acton Conservation Trust. For more information or questions, please contact Jody Harris at jharris.actonconservationtrust@gmail.com or Dawn Peterson at actonpip@gmail.com
