Brooke Hills Park StarWatch, May 15th, 2026

Hey Astronomy Fans!!!

Join us (this third Friday of the month) at Brooke Hills Park for a telescopic StarWatch, Friday, May 15th, 2026. We will meet at the Brooke Hills Park's Rhododendron Shelter found at 40° 15’ 39” north and 80° 32’ 33” west, from 8:00 to 10:00 PM.

Using telescopes on-site, amateur astronomers will telescopically reveal to those in attendance a wide range of sky wonders both within our Sol-ar System and beyond.

Here is what we plan to see through the telescopes:
Dark Skies!!! The Waning Crescent Earth’s Moon will set before the Sun. So, we will have Dark Skies to see many Deep Space Objects!!!
Planets: Venus and Jupiter
The four large Planetary Moons of Jupiter: Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto
Europa will begin a Jupiter transit above the clout tops at 9:15 PM
The Beehive & Double Galactic Star Clusters
The Crab and Ring Nebula along with a few brighter distant Galaxies
Double Stars and our home Galaxy – the Milky Way
Additionally, we will point out several Constellations

Reminder, we will have telescopes for you to use ... if you have a telescope bring it along - more scopes, means more fun.

In case of clouds or light misting-rain we will be there to engage your astronomical questions and banter about the wonders of the Cosmos. In case of steady rain or thunder-storms – the Brooke Hills Park StarWatch event will be cancelled.

Clear and Safe Skies,

Robert
