Science in the Parks: Explore the Night Sky at West Pullman Park
Chicago Council on Science and Technology
Ready to see the night sky in a whole new light? As we continue our Science in the Parks series, we are excited to journey across the cosmos with the University of Chicago’s Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics, The Chicago Astronomy Crew led by “Astro” Joe Guzman, certified by NASA as a Solar System Ambassador, and–of course–the Chicago Park District to bring astronomy to Link in West Pullman Park!
Whether you’re a first-time viewer or a seasoned veteran of the night sky this program should be a blast! Together we will experience the conjunction of Jupiter, Saturn, and the moon under night skies, and learn what is happening in the solar system this summer, from seasonal deep space objects to upcoming meteor showers and eclipses.
- Space-themed activities in the auditorium 5:30 – 7 pm
- Astronomy chat 7 – 7:30 pm
- Telescope viewing and activities 7:30 – 8:30 pm
Restrooms in the Field house will be open and available for participants. Please feel feel to bring blankets, and chairs to lay back and enjoy the night sky!
Science in the Parks is an ongoing effort by C2ST to live up to our philosophy that “Science is for Everyone.” Not only do we want to join your community, but we want to return and provide science programs that are relevant to you in the future.
