Program Details

FIND Outdoors is partnering with AstroBrevard, The Asheville Astronomy Club and the Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute in the Pisgah National Forest to discover the hidden mysteries of Western North Carolina’s dark sky. Expert astronomers will guide participants through the night, interpreting the wonders of the universe through their galactic stories and expertise. You will also be given the opportunity to use high powered telescopes to explore our universe even further. You’ll become a “Guardian of the Galaxy” after spending an evening learning about the magic of deep space and North Carolina’s incredible nightscape.

Need to Know:

Capacity: Limited to 60 guests per event.

Lighting & Gear: Please bring only red lights/flashlights to protect dark adaptation. Binoculars and warm layers are highly recommended.
