Astronomy at the Garden
Join avid amateur astronomer and retired Idaho State University professor Tim Frazier on Sunday, March 13 for an evening of early spring star gazing with "a few" of his favorite telescopes. Evening starts at 7:30 in the Visitor Center with a basic orientation to the night sky. Then outside Tim will highlight “Oh Wow!” deep sky objects and participants will get up close views of Jupiter’s moons and the waxing moon. Kristin Fletcher, Sawtooth Botanical Garden Education Director, will help participants identify constellations visible with the naked eye plus offer insights about their lore. Dress warmly for the weather and bring binoculars, if you have them!
Space is limited to just 25 participants. SBG members - $5; Nonmembers - $10; Children under 16 – Free. Call 208-726-9358 to pay and reserve your spot.
