Today, Saturday, Mary 16, is Astronomy Day! Our theme is “Our Strange Universe”. Learn about the strange occurrences such as black holes, exoplanets and more. Join us at Trailside Nature & Science Center in Mountainside in the afternoon from 12:00 pm – 4:00 pm for children’s activities, presentations, science demonstrations, robotics, safe solar observing, meteorites and geology displays, a scavenger hunt and more. In the evening from 7:30 pm – 10:30 pm come to Sperry Observatory for observing through the 2 large telescopes and a presentation on ‘Dark & Weird Space Things”. This is geared to both children and adults.

And learn about Amateur Astronomers, Inc. the Astronomy club that makes its home at Sperry Observatory located on the campus of Union College in Cranford, NJ and how you can join. And, weather permitting, we will do observing through our 2 large telescopes, a 24 inch reflector and a 10 inch refractor.
