Every Saturday (weather permitting), Northern Manhattan Parks and the Inwood Astronomy Project offer free star- and planet-gazing in Inwood Hill Park. These free, family-friendly events aim to spread the joys of the evening sky, and help you to learn more about the nature of our Solar System and current happenings in astronomy.
Telescopes will be available for your use or bring your own. For more information and weather updates, visit the Inwood Astronomy Project website.
The Astronomy Project also offers Stargazing programs in Fort Tryon Park second Wednesday of every month.
Inwwod Astronomy Project has purchased a new Obsession 15 CU telescope. It is one of the largest amateur telescope available for regular free viewing in the 5 boroughs. Check it out on your next stargazing visit.
Note:
Day-length changes as the seasons progress, start times for astronomy programs will be altered to allow for these changes. Please keep checking our listings as we adjust program schedules to allow for these changes.
