The event, which is open to the public without charge, is sponsored by the Bucknell department of physics and the Susquehanna Valley Amateur Astronomers. The evening will include songs of the stars by singer and storyteller Jina Gillis-Rosencranz, who will perform and lead children in songs and stories about stars, constellations, rainbows and other celestial phenomena. Facilities include the 114-year old Clark refracting telescope, several modern reflecting telescopes and a new radio telescope. In addition, astronomers will be on hand to point out the constellations visible in the winter sky. The Bucknell Observatory is located on the southern end of the Bucknell campus, next to the Mathewson-Memorial stadium and behind the new residence hall.
Ample parking is available.
