Star Observation at Kaleideum North
Saturday, September 17, at 7:30 pm
The Stars are coming to Kaleideum North … It’s not the Hollywood stars, but we’ll bring the kind that shine brightly in the night sky closer to you during a night of astronomical observation.

You can see the night sky up close and learn about binoculars and telescopes as we observe the cosmos together in the Kaleideum North parking lot. Rumor has it that Saturn and Jupiter might also make an appearance.

Of course, we need a clear cloudless night, so check the Forsyth Astronomical Society website or Kaleideum social media to make sure we haven’t postponed this event. The rain date is Saturday, October 1.
