More details
Join Fairmount Park Conservancy and astronomer/educator Buddy Muhler for a one-mile guided moonwalk and telescope observation in East Fairmount Park
We’ll start by using the moonlight to guide us on a short hike along the Lemon Hill Rim Trail. Learn a little about the history of the area as well as the nocturnal animals that call the forest home. Next, we’ll turn our attention to the sky with a guided moon and planet observation. Each attendee will have the chance to travel close up to the moon’s surface by looking through Buddy’s high-powered telescope!
