Event

Gateway Arch National Park continues to present its Gateway to the Stars program, presented from May-October. Events are co-hosted by the St. Louis Astronomical Society and Dark Sky Missouri. Each monthly event will begin with an Astronomy or space-themed educational program and will be followed by a tour of the current night sky and then video views of celestial objects using amateur telescopes.

VIRTUAL PROGRAMS
Gateway to the Stars continues on July 17 at 8 pm. The first part of the program features "Astronomy in the National Parks." Night Sky Ambassador and Space Art Travel Bureau director Dr. Tyler Nordgren will take you on a virtual tour of the night sky opportunities available in America's National Parks. The program continues with Virtual Stargazing at the Gateway Arch. Our Sky Ranger will take you a guided tour of the July night skies using the Stellarium program.
