Stargazing with Skylight Astronomical Society

Come join SVT and the Skylight Astronomical Society of Stow beneath the dark November sky for an evening of stargazing and telescope viewing!

With the Moon nearly absent from the sky, November 5 offers excellent conditions for exploring dark sky objects of the heavens. Take in diverse objects like galaxies, globular clusters, planetary nebulae and remnants of exploding stars. See the distant Andromeda Galaxy, colorful double stars, and Saturn with its magnificent rings! The Taurid meteor showers will also be active, so keep an eye overhead for an occasional bright meteor or dramatic fireball streaking across the sky.

Whether you're an experienced skywatcher or have never looked through a telescope before, come see for yourself just how much of the universe is waiting overhead.

In the event of inclement weather, the event will be held the following Thursday, Nov. 12. Clear skies and hope to see you there!
