Under the Stars: Enjoy a Celestial Weekend at Sands Point Preserve
Starlab Planetarium visits the Guggenheim Estate, featuring nighttime – with outdoor stargazing – or daytime explorations
Learn all about the magical night sky when the inflatable Starlab Portable Planetarium visits Sands Point Preserve on Saturday, March 5, and Sunday, March 6.
That’s when children and their caregivers can experience a 30-minute sky show, followed by a host of astronomy crafts.
March 5 stargazers are encouraged to dress for the outdoors, and hope for a clear night. Conditions permitting, we’ll see our moon shadows and “connect the dots” of the real Big Dipper above the Preserve’s Great Lawn.
