$15, and free for children 12 and under. How often do we take a moment, look up into the night sky and think about what we see? Do we even know what we’re looking at when we see it? For those who are interested in the stars and planets, you’ll have the opportunity to learn some of the basics from local astronomer, Don Hladiuk. Don has been looking up at the stars since he was a little boy; he is best known as the Starman on the CBC EyeOpener for the last 33 years. We are grateful to Don for his willingness to share his knowledge and contagious love of the night sky with us this year! Night Sky Wonders is a two hour program that includes an indoor classroom component during which you’ll enjoy a presentation by Don about what you might see in the sky, followed by an outdoor viewing session (weather permitting) where you can put what you learned into practice. Complementary hot chocolate will be available in case there is a bit of a chill in the air. Photo courtesy of Don Hladiuk
