Pajarito Astronomers News:

Los Alamos County Parks, Recreation and Open Space Divisions have partnered up with the Pajarito Astronomers for the Dark Night program. Anyone with an interest in star gazing and the chance to look through a telescope is invited to come out to Spirio Soccer Fields tonight, Nov. 4, at Overlook Park in White Rock.

This is the last Dark Night of the 2023 season!

Volunteers from the Pajarito Astronomers Club will be present with telescopes starting about 7 p.m. until 10 p.m.

Saturn and Jupiter (which reached opposition on Nov. 3) will be visible early in the night. Numerous open and globular clusters, binary stars, nebulae and other objects will be available for viewing.

Red flashlights are recommended for safety.

This event is free and open to the public (no registration required) and will be held weather permitting– updates will be posted on the Pajarito Astronomers Facebook page.

Please use caution and, if possible, use parking lights when approaching or leaving Spirio Fields when it is dark.

Pajarito Astronomers hope to see you there!
