Public Astronomy Programs

Stargazing @ Rendezvous Park (R-Park)

FREE for Everyone.

Every CLEAR Thursday Night, All Year Long!

Wyoming Stargazing offers weekly, free, year-round, public stargazing events on CLEAR Thursdays beginning approx. one hour after sunset at the Rendezvous Park in Jackson Hole Wyoming (when the temperature is above zero degrees Fahrenheit!). There is $10/person recommended donation. Donate Online.

Join Wyoming Stargazing at R-Park, the Jackson Hole Land Trust’s flagship community open space, for our free public stargazing programs. We’ll be set up on the far side of the hill at the end of the driveway. Please park in the main parking area and walk to the far side of the hill following our Public Stargazing signs.

Our astronomy educators will use one of our large aperture telescopes to show you planets, stars, planetary nebulae, galaxies, and more! We will also have several iPads with the Star Walk application installed on them so you can explore the heavens while others are looking through the telescopes. Throughout the night our astronomy educators will tell you everything you want to know about the objects you are viewing. We can also answer all your other questions about astronomy. There is no need to reserve your spot in advance. You can come and go as you please. We look forward to seeing you under the stars! Please dress warmly.

In the event of bad weather, no worries! We’ll post the cancellation notice below as well as on our Facebook and Instagram accounts. Check out tonight’s weather conditions here.

Solar Astronomy @ The Peoples’ Market

FREE for Everyone.

Wednesdays from 4pm-7pm, June 5th-Sept. 25th

Throughout the summer, Wyoming Stargazing will be offering solar astronomy programs at the Peoples’ Market. Using our specialized solar telescopes we’ll safely show you sunspots, solar prominences, and much more on the photosphere of the Sun. At only 93 million miles away the Sun is BY FAR the closest star to Earth and yet there is still so much we still don’t know about it. Join us at the Peoples’ Market and learn some quick solar facts. $10/Person Suggested Donation .Donate Online.
