MARS will swing by Earth at midnight on July 27, 2018. To view this planet up close in our large telescopes, we are doing 1-hour shows starting at 7-8pm (which is booked out) and then on the hour up to midnight. On that same night, each of the three telescopes will be trained on Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, nothing else, as that night the Moon is 99% lit, meaning its light will 'drown' out many stars and constellations. These 1 hour specials will cost $20 for an adult irrespective of age and $10 for kids over 5. Cash at door. Night shows not suitable for under 5's. Bookings ARE ESSENTIAL.
