A BEGINNING

Each Star Tour begins with a greeting. During the greeting we learn about each other, share stories, ask and answer questions, and share a bit of Poastromy (astro poetry) to open the imagination.

MIDDLE

Next a lively science presentation will help open your mind to wonder about your place in the cosmos. Everyone becomes a Star Guide, and has a chance to win a prize during the space quiz.

END

The end is really not the end, it’s the beginning. The beginning of exploring the cosmos through the eyepiece of amazing Celestron telescopes. Looking at stars and galaxies, galactic clusters, globular clusters, and nebulae. We begin asking questions and finding answers, we expand our understanding of the cosmos.
