By far, one of the best ways to spend an evening is chatting about the night sky and looking at Saturn, the Moon, or distant nebulae and stars. After the closing of the the International Year of Astronomy 2009 right here in New York City, we will continue our programs for your enjoyment! All of these free and family-friendly events spread the joys of the evening sky, and help you to learn more about the nature of our Solar System and current happenings in Astronomy. Bring a coffee and a jacket and join us. We are outside under the stars every Saturday night in 2010.
