Our Astronomy Nights at Callaway Gardens continue every Monday Night at 9 pm, at Callaway's "Overlook Pavilion". Our next few events will be June 21, June 28, and July 5.

If you're interested in doing a little sky watching on your own, grab a pair of binoculars and head out before dawn to try to get a look at Comet McNaught (C/2009 R1). Sky & Telescope covers the comet, including a timeline of where it will be and a finder's chart. It should be getting brighter right now, and will move out of visibility toward the end of the month, so get it while you can!

The Space Science Center will begin our program of summer Astronomy Nights at Callaway Gardens Overlook Pavilion on Monday, June 7, starting at 9 p.m.

The Callaway Gardens "Oh, My Stars!" Astronomy Nights will continue every Monday night at 9 p.m. up through early August. Admission to the overlook area for the astronomy program is FREE to the public on those evenings. Directions to Callaway can be found on the Mead Observatory website.

In addition, we will have an Astronomy Night at Providence Canyon State Park on Saturday, June 12, also at 9 p.m.
