The local Crewe Astronomy Club will bring their hi-tech telescopes and amazing video presentation about our planet, our galaxy, and our universe to the visitor center.

Learn about the constellations, gaze upon planets in our solar system, see close-up views of the moon's mountains, and observe far off nebulae and galaxies. Visitors are encouraged to bring their own telescopes and may also look through the club's hi-tech telescopes. Even if the weather doesn't cooperate, the extraordinary indoor presentation is worth watching.
