Science Friday and the Amateur Astronomers Association are teaming up to celebrate the stars in Jerome Park! We’ll be on site with telescopes, hot cocoa, and lots of space lovers—including Dr. Moiya McTier, astronomer, folklorist and author of the SciFri Book Club’s December read, The Milky Way: An Autobiography of Our Galaxy.
We’re gathering not just to look in wonder at the stars together, but to tell locals all about AAA’s efforts to bring NYC’s first public observatory to the park. Join in to stargaze and tell stories with us!
Founded in 1927, the Amateur Astronomers Association is a 100% volunteer-run 501(c)(3) non-profit that promotes the study and public awareness of the cosmos through observing, education, outreach, astrophotography, and more. Every membership & donation helps us to provide awe-inspiring programming for all to enjoy.
