Wondering what’s out there in the night sky? Victor Valley Museum (VVM) in partnership with the High Desert Astronomical Society (HiDAS), invites the community to discover the wonders of the night sky in a series of after-hours events designed for all ages.
Beginning Saturday, June 28, VVM will host stargazing evenings on select nights throughout the year. Visitors will have the chance to peer through high-powered telescopes and hear from HiDAS as they reveal the secrets of the universe.
“These events are all about inspiring curiosity and connecting our community to the beauty of the cosmos,” said Curator of Visitor Engagement Tiffany Talavera. “Whether you’re a budding astronomer or just want a peaceful night under the stars, Cosmic Nights are a great way to enjoy science in a hands-on, engaging way.”
