NEW THIS YEAR: STAR-GAZING ON NEW YEAR’S EVE!
Weather permitting, on New Year’s Eve the Gloucester Area Astronomy Club will have telescopes set up in Dock Square from 7:00 to 10:00, for public viewing of our moon, Jupiter and its moons, and some objects far, far outside our solar system as well. There will be guided tours of the constellations, NASA educational activities and handouts for all ages; you can learn how to read a sky map, and see different types of telescopes and learn how they work. Come appreciate the wonders of the night sky, and start the new year with a new appreciation of how enormous and spectacular the universe is.
