Sipping Under the Stars

A Night of Celestial Wonder at the Keystone Science School Observatory

April 18th, 2025 at 7:30pm

Join us at the Keystone Science School Campus Observatory for an evening of stargazing and discovery. Our astronomer, AstroMark, will guide guests through the night sky using the newly repaired observatory telescope—made possible by the generous support of Victor Leonard.

 We will be offering wine tastings and light hors d’oeuvres throughout the evening. This event is both indoors and outdoors – there will be heaters on the patio but please dress appropriately.

We look forward to sharing this special evening with you!

All attendees should note that closed-toed shoes are necessary and heels will not do well on the observatory steps. Please consider wearing flat shoes that evening.
