Join Ranger Steve at the Desert Outdoor Center at Lake Pleasant for a special stargazing program! A selection of celestial objects such as planets, star clusters, nebulae, and perhaps even galaxies will be viewed through a telescope. Ranger Steve will also use a laser pointer to point out constellations and he’ll be available to answer all your astronomy related questions!
MEETING LOCATION: Desert Outdoor Center parking lot***
***Please note that the Desert Outdoor Center (DOC) is an educational facility located on the EAST side of Lake Pleasant and is only open to registered participants for this special event.
