Advanced Registration is required for this popular event, tickets will be live on our website on April 3rd. Join us at Chase Farm Park for a night of stargazing in the wide-open fields. Local astronomers will present a talk about the night sky before getting started with your own opportunity to gaze through a telescope and take a guided tour of the skies. This is a popular event, get your tickets before they sell out! Discover the mysteries and wonders of the night sky with this stargazing evening in the wide open spaces of Chase Farm Park. Friends of Hearthside is pleased to once again host this popular night time activity at Chase Farm Park. This year, we’re offering an early spring event, with the hopes of getting a good clear sky, which is often rare during the summer months. To get everyone started on the same page–both beginners and experienced–there’ll be a basic overview of stargazing, “Astronomy 101” given by noted Rhode Island astronomer, Francine Jackson. Then, it’s off we go into the field to view the night sky through telescopes and take a guided tour one star and one planet at a time, led by her fellow astronomers from Skyscrapers, Inc.
