🌙🔭 TELESCOPE NIGHT IS BACK! 🔭🪐

Get ready to look WAY beyond the night sky! Pearl Observatory is returning to Vernon for another incredible Telescope Night at Maple Grange Park!

Join us on Wednesday, September 16 for an up-close look at the night sky through a HUGE telescope. You'll have the opportunity to see sights you simply can't experience with the naked eye—including:

🌕 The Moon's incredible mountains & craters
🪐 Saturn and its famous rings
✨ Some of Saturn's moons
🔭 And other amazing sights in the night sky!

There's something pretty incredible about seeing Saturn's rings with your own eyes instead of in a picture—and we're excited to bring that experience back to Vernon!

📅 Wednesday, September 16
📍 Maple Grange Park – Pavilion Area
⏰ Choose your time: 6:30 PM or 7:00 PM
🎟️ $10 per person attending

Registration is now OPEN!

Register for Telescope Night

💵 Payment must be received before the event. Cash, check, or money order are accepted.

Space is limited within each time slot, so register early and come spend an evening exploring the universe with us! 🌌✨

Come for the Moon. Stay for Saturn. Leave looking at the sky a little differently. 🔭💫
