Look up as two of the brightest planets put on a rare show together. Join volunteer naturalists to explore how planets move across our sky and why Venus and Jupiter sometimes appear side by side. Learn easy tips for spotting planets and enjoy an evening sharing stories and views of our solar system. Presentations will be at the picnic shelter, followed by stargazing in the parking area. The Longmont Astronomical Society provides telescopes. Bring a chair or blanket, a light jacket, and a red flashlight, and get ready to enjoy a night under the stars!

Olivia L - Volunteer Naturalist
My name is Olivia, and I am a lifelong Coloradan! I grew up in the suburbs around Denver, earned a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, and am now attending the University of Colorado Boulder for a PhD in Biochemistry. Living across Colorado has instilled in me a love of the outdoors, from skiing and hiking in the Rockies to biking and birding along the Front Range. In all my outdoor adventures, I love nothing more than seeing great wildlife!
