Our first Astronomy Night of the 2024-2025 academic year! There’s a partial lunar eclipse happening the evening of the 17th (peaking at 22:40), so come out and join us at the Experimental Farm to enjoy the night sky! 🌖

We will be set up in the grassy area directly next to the main visitor parking lot of the Experimental Farm.
