Stars and Stardust: Sidewalk Astronomy in The Neon Boneyard to Take Place Jan. 12
One of the year’s most anticipated and distinctive family events, “Stars and Stardust: Sidewalk Astronomy in the Neon Boneyard” returns to the Neon Museum on Saturday, Jan. 12. To be held from 6 to 9 p.m., this event offers stargazing especially for families and is presented in partnership with the Las Vegas Astronomical Society and the College of Southern Nevada Planetarium.
The evening will begin in the dramatically illuminated Neon Boneyard before the lights are dimmed to afford a clearer view of the stars. Participants in the museum’s annual “Stars and Stardust” astronomy event will enjoy using a variety of professional telescope equipment to observe the night sky. Guests will also enjoy a self-paced solar system scavenger hunt activity and making space-themed scratchboard art.
This program is part of the Neon Museum’s ongoing effort to provide enriching educational experiences to people of all ages in a culturally important setting.
Admission to Stars and Stardust is free and no registration is required. For more information about tours and special events at the Neon Museum, go to www.neonmuseum.org or call (702) 387-6366.
