Astronomy Night: Sidewalk Stargazing (Bedford Library)

Please note that this program will be cancelled in case of a forecast of clouds, rain, snow or poor visibility.

Want to learn more about what we can see in the night sky? What can we see in an urban environment with light pollution? Plenty! Join the Bedford Library for an evening of stargazing on the sidewalk outside the branch. We’ll learn how to find objects and identify them in the night sky.
