Come explore the night sky at the park. Members of the St. Louis Astronomical Society will set up telescopes in the monument field to offer visitors a view of the night sky. Telescopes will be pointed at a variety of objects, including Saturn and its rings, the Moon and the many star clusters, nebulae and galaxies. Everyone is encouraged to bring warm clothes, shoes, mosquito repellent, red flash light, chairs, blankets and binoculars.
Sunset is at 8pm and it should be dark by 8:45pm. We also hope to see some Perseid Meteors after it gets dark.
