About The Event

One of the many ingredients to living the Good Life is to slow down and recognize that the whole of creation in its beauty is right before us. What better way to embrace such beauty than an evening spent looking up to the stars (rather than down to our smartphones)?

On Friday, April 29th, we will be going to Beverly Sheffield Northwest with the Austin Astronomical Society. We will gaze into the nighttime sky, learn from star lovers, and observe with them the wonders of creation above.  Bring over a blanket, a friend, and all your curiosity! 

Please arrive to Beverly Sheffield Northwest by 8:00PM because soon thereafter Austin Astronomical Society will give a presentation that you won't want to miss! Afterwards, we will gaze at the stars.

We suggest that you bring your own lawn chair and/or blanket for the presentation and for the star gazing!
