About this Event

Explore the night sky with a ranger at the Thomas Jefferson Memorial. Learn about Thomas Jefferson’s interest in astronomy, how it shaped his worldview, and how it continues to inspire new generations to explore space as we celebrate America’s 250th anniversary. Practice stargazing with a telescope, learn about the phases of the moon, and earn a Jr. Ranger Night Explorer patch.

Weather permitting.
