Astronomy Night - Star Party

Bring your friends or family to Astronomy Night and find out how much fun it is to stargaze with an ocean view! As twilight fades, we will focus on a beautiful 4-day crescent moon. The amazing craters, mountains and lava plains on the surface of our nearest celestial neighbor are always awe-inspiring sights. As the evening progresses we will get our first look at Jupiter this year. The Galilean moons and cloud bands on the largest planet are always a treat. We will also visit sparkling double stars, star clusters, and the best celestial sights the spring sky has to offer. If you have never seen the moon or deep space objects through large telescopes, you will be amazed!

Seal Beach Astronomy Nights are co-hosted by Michael Beckage, our favorite Astronomy expert!  We set up the telescopes right across the street from Bogart's on the left side of the Seal Beach pier.

If you have a telescope, please feel free to bring it to Astronomy Night. You don’t have to be an expert and it's rewarding to share anything you know with someone else. The star parties are great for kids of all ages and best of all provide serious entertainment at an unbeatable price. (Free, that is!)
