7:00pm – 8:30pm: Guest speaker Rachel Langgin, phD student in astronomy at UNLV, will be presenting her fascinating research on how gravitational waves are reshaping our understanding of the universe — and what the next generation of gravitational wave observatories may reveal.
8:30pm – 10:00pm: public telescope viewing with opportunities to see the crescent moon, star clusters, galaxies, nebulae and more.
S’mores and hot beverages provided and select retail items will be available for sale.
$5.00 per person. All proceeds directly go to supporting future educational events.
It may warm down in the Valley, but temperatures in the Spring Mountains can be 20-30 degrees cooler than in Las Vegas. Be sure to bring a jacket and warm layers. There will be a guest speaker for this event so chairs and blankets are welcome if desired. Flashlights with red light options are recommended to keep light pollution to a minimum.
This event is for visitors of all ages. Dogs are welcome but need to be on a leash at all times.
