Astronomy Night – postponed due to weather to August 16th

Wednesday August 16, 2023 @ 8:30 pm - 10:30 pm

Free

Our first ever “Astronomy Night” is happening on Saturday August 12th on Big Hawk Lake, right at the peak of the Perseids Meteor Shower. Presenter Julia Smith will share her love for and fascination with the summer stars and planets. This is a free, family friendly event perfect for anyone fascinated with our brilliant night skies.

Come by boat or car to The Henderson’s at 1097 Lil’s Lane, off Big Hawk Lake Road (the private road) right by Scott’s Point on Big Hawk. The event will start at 8:30pm, so plan to arrive between 8pm and 8:30pm.

There is a big beach to pull up your boat (although shallow water) and lots of flat land behind the cottage to park cars.

Bring a lawn chair, beach towel or blanket for star-gazing, as well as your binoculars and a telescope if you have them. A flashlight for when you leave would also be beneficial but let’s keep our skies dark for this event. Bug spray may also be helpful.

Pre-registration is requested so that we can calculate numbers for marshmallows and drinks as well as inform you of a weather postponement. Register online here: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/676635002507
