SUMMARY:PARK AFTER DARK: Moonwalk & Stargazing Party
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a moonlit hike and telescope observation! \n\n\nDATE\nTuesday\, November 28\, 2023 \n\n\n\nTIME\n6:30pm – 8:30pm \n\n\n\n\nJoin us for a moonlit hike and telescope observation! \n\n\nDATE\nTuesday\, November 28\, 2023 \n\n\n\nTIME\n6:30pm – 8:30pm \n\n\n\nLOCATION\nLemon Hill Mansion\nLemon Hill Drive\nPhiladelphia\, PA 19130 \n\n\n\nJoin Fairmount Park Conservancy and astronomer/educator Buddy Muhler for a two-mile guided moonwalk and telescope observation on November 28 from 6:30–8:30 PM. According to the Farmers Almanac\, November’s moon is called the “Beaver Moon” because it signals the time when beavers begin to take shelter in their lodges before the long winter ahead. Native American tribes have also referred to it as the “Digging Moon”\, “Deer Rutting Moon”\, and “Whitefish Moon”. \nFirst\, we’ll use the moonlight to guide us on a short hike on the Lemon Hill Rim Trail\, appreciating nature lit by the glowing moon. Next\, we’ll turn our attention to the moon itself by ending the hike with a guided moon and planet observation. Novice and experienced astronomers alike will be given insights and tips by experienced instructor Buddy Muhler. Each attendee will have the chance to travel close up to the moon’s surface by looking through Buddy’s high-powered telescope! Buddy will discuss the lunar cycles and point out interesting visible surface features such as dark gray mares (seas) and white reflective highlands. We’ll gaze at planets and discuss other astronomical wonders of the night sky. \nIf you’re a lunar lunatic\, this is an evening not to miss! \nEstimated distance: 2 miles\nLevel: easy to moderate\nTerrain: combination of flat open parkland and hilly trails \nINSTRUCTOR BIO: Buddy Muhler is a passionate astronomer and science educator. He has over 15 years experience operating telescopes and educating the public on astronomy\, first at The Franklin Institute and now in his current position with The Academy of Natural Sciences. \n\nTICKET PRICES: Pay what you can – $10\, $15\, or $20\n[ Not sure what to pay? Please refer to this Sliding Scale Pricing FAQ for additional info. ] \nKNOW BEFORE YOU GO: \n\nThis hike is roughly two miles in length over a combination of open parkland and hilly terrain (easy-moderate exertion).\nAppropriate for adults and families with children ages 6 and up.
