We will have an opportunity to catch Jupiter's Great Red Spot, Saturn, as well as dark skies for Deep Sky Objects.

More Information

 

Sunset: 6:33 PM

Please join us for an evening of learning about the universe by observing interesting astronomical objects, including the moon, constellations, planets, and stars. Guests and members are encouraged to bring their telescopes and binoculars if available and SAS volunteers will provide additional telescopes and binoculars for all to enjoy. Participants might want to bring their favorite cell phone sky app or a sky map from www.skymaps.com , but these helps are not required. Dress warmly.

Paramount Park features great sightlines and relatively dark skies for both planetary and deep sky options.

Paramont Park, officially named Paramount School Park, is located at 15300 8th Ave NE in Shoreline. Be careful as there is a similarly named Paramount Open Space nearby. There is both a parking lot and ample street parking.
