Stargazing Party at Chilhowie Library

Grab your folding chairs or a blanket and join us on the lawn of Chilhowie Public Library on Thursday, June 11th for a Stargazing Party with Marc Eaton. Marc will begin the program at 8:00pm with a talk, and as the sun sets we will begin looking at the night sky together through telescopes.

🔭This is a free family-friendly program that is open to all ages. The event is dependent on favorable weather and viewing conditions that day. Marc will bring telescopes, but all the astronomy lovers out there are also encouraged to bring your own telescopes as well if you wish.

✨Marc Eaton is an astronomy enthusiast who works for Montgomery County Public Schools as an engineering instructor. He earned his degree in Earth/Space Physics at Radford University. He has been setting up telescopes and hosting planet and star gazing events for 20 years.
