CANCELLED: Night Sky Star Observations – La Quinta

DUE TO FORECAST HEAVY CLOUD COVER, THIS EVENT IS CANCELLED.

Friends of the Desert Mountains volunteer astronomers will be setting up their telescopes and are inviting you to their “star party”. A clear night sky offers an ever-changing display of fascinating objects to see — stars, constellations, bright planets, a full moon, and sometimes special events like meteor showers or an eclipse. While observing the night sky, occasionally we might see the international space station moving over the Coachella Valley.

This event is wheelchair accessible with compacted dirt surfaces.

Stop by any time between 7:30pm and 9:30pm.

NOTE: CHECK WEATHER BEFORE DEPARTING, THIS EVENT WILL BE CANCELED FOR HEAVY CLOUD COVER, WIND OR RAIN.
