Astronomy in the Park and The Night Sky Program

Due to a Charleston Riverdogs game, we will not be having Astronomy in the Park at Brittlebank tonight. We're out there almost every week, but we'll miss a few more during the summer because of baseball.

We'll be partnering with Fort Moultrie to host The Night Sky Program on Saturday night, weather permitting of course. Saturday, April 27th at 8pm at 1214 Middle St, Sullivans Island, to be exact.

Clear skies!

April Newsletter

Our April newsletter is out - take a look. You can find all our newsletters here, or at the link on the right side of the page.

Astronomy in the Park

Weather looks pretty good for Astronomy in the Park. We'll be at Brittlebank Park from sunset until about 10pm. Stop by after work or before dinner and see what the universe has to offer. Our members will have a telescope or two set up, and will be available to answer your questions about the night sky. 

 We will set up at the south end of the park opposite the Marriott Hotel, and for those attending, we ask that you park in designated parking spaces, and not on the grass.

Please check back here or Facebook for cancellations.

Tonight we have a low, bright pass of the International Space Station that should be interesting. If you don't come out, see if you can see it from where you are!

Dark Night Astronomy Event

Weather permitting, the Lowcountry Stargazers will hold a public event at their dark sky site, Saturday, April 6th at 7:30pm.

Observe constellations, planets, the moon and deep sky objects at one of the darker sites in the Charleston area, guided by members of the Lowcountry Stargazers.

Bring a flashlight; red cellophane will be provided to cover the lens to make viewing the stars better. Cellphone flashlights can’t be used in the observing area.

Weather permitting. Johns Island County Park, AKA Mullet Hall Equestrian Center, 2662 Mullet Hall Rd, Johns Island, SC 29455. Members will have their telescopes set up behind the headquarters building, which is to the left after entering the park.
