Sedona Parks and Recreation is pleased to offer an educational and entertaining evening under the stars.
Please join us for an interactive Introduction to Astronomy with guest speaker JD Maddy.
March 4, beginning at 6:30 p.m. in the Recreation Room located near the multi-use field in Posse Grounds Park, 525 Posse Ground Road. Participants will be taught about the spring and summer time constellations along with the viewing of planets, double stars, nebula and galaxies. The red planet Mars will be visible in the east with the ringed planet Saturn rising soon after. The evening will begin with a presentation on the highlights of the spring and summer Milky Way. Following the PowerPoint presentation (7:30 p.m.), participants will be given the opportunity to view the objects they just learned about through telescopes provided. Do you have a telescope you never learned how to use? Bring your own telescope and let our team of amateur astronomers show you how to properly care for and set up the equipment.
This is a free event, but pre-registration is appreciated so that the class minimum is secured. Please reserve your spot by contacting Parks and Recreation at 282-7098.
