About this Event

Join local astronomers with the Greensboro Astronomy Club as we observe the night skies over the Iron Ore Belt Access. Telescopes and viewing equipment will be set up on site but you may wish to bring your own binoculars or telescope, plus a chair or blanket for seating. Please dress for the weather.

Attendees may expect to see closer-than-typical views of the moon, planets, star clusters, and other celestial objects subject to change with time of year and local sky darkness. Flashlights & headlamps should have a red-light option or filter to protect your night vision.

***Skywatching sessions may be cancelled for cloudy or poor weather conditions, so please SIGN UP in advance so you can be notified in the event of cancellation. ***

Star-gazing Etiquette:

  • Please use a red light at the observing session and keep any light pointed at the ground. As your eyes adapt, a light is not needed at all.
  • Please do not touch any telescopes or other equipment unless permission is given. Items are delicate and expensive.
  • Please do not allow children or pets to run around the observing area. Pets must be on a leash no longer than 6 feet at all times. This is to protect others' safety and the equipment.
  • Please form a orderly line behind each telescope.

Program equipment and instruction provided by members of the Greensboro Astronomy Club, which meet the third Friday of each month at the Greensboro Science Center. Learn more about their organization here: https://greensboroastronomyclub.org/
