We are losing our beautiful night sky, but we can help change that! Try starting in your backyard! Join us as we share tips and tricks for becoming a stellar backyard astronomer and fantastic Citizen Scientist!

Our presentation, led by Kim, will be in the planetarium regardless of the weather!

If the weather cooperates, Tacoma Astronomical Society volunteers will have their telescopes in the parking lot after the presentation. Otherwise, we will stay inside the fantastic Pierce College planetarium for an inside "What's up in the Sky Tonight" activity.
