AIM FOR THE STARS - Jefferson College Observatory Site
****All events will be held beginning at sunset, weather permitting. In case of inclement weather, programs will be postponed to the following month.
Join us at the Jefferson College Observatory including a site tour, training on how to read a star map, laser guided constellation tours, and previews of upcoming astronomy events of interest.
