Skywatching

Presented by Gaithersburg Community Museum at Observatory Park

Using the City’s telescopes, look for Saturn with its rings and one of the visible nebula in the Milky Way. Hands-on activities and the observatory building will be open for the curious.

Observatory Park will be dark, but please do not bring a bright flashlight; bring a red light as it will be less intrusive to other watchers. Also adjust the brightness of electronic devices.

Limited parking for those with accessibility tags is available onsite. Please be considerate when parking in the neighborhood. No amenities available on site. Alcohol is not permitted at events in City parks.

Events at Observatory Park could be cancelled or modified at the last moment if conditions, including inclement weather and cloud cover, are not conducive to Skywatching. Please check the Community Museum Facebook page for last minute announcements.
