Astronomy: The Shadows in Space when the Sun, Moon, and Earth Align

Discover the drama of eclipses—nature’s most impressive shadow play. We’ll explore how lunar and solar eclipses happen and why they don’t occur every month. This program offers a fascinating look at how moving shadows reveal the motions of Earth, Moon, and Sun. Presentations will be at the picnic shelter, followed by stargazing in the parking area. The Longmont Astronomical Society provides telescopes. Bring a chair or blanket, a light jacket, and a red flashlight, and get ready to enjoy a night under the stars! Registration required. Register
