Stargazing at the Astronomy Viewing Area of Broemmelsiek Park

The St. Charles County Parks Department is once again teaming up with the Astronomical Society of Eastern Missouri (ASEM) to offer educational stargazing programs every Friday night at Broemmelsiek Park (1615 Schwede Rd., off Highway DD, 63385) throughout the 2013 year. Weather permitting, beginning at dusk, join members of ASEM and discover different constellations and stars through complex telescopes at the unique Astronomy Viewing Area on park grounds. These public open houses usually last a couple of hours. Individuals or groups are welcome to participate in these free, educational astronomy programs. Advanced registration is requested for large groups planning to attend. For more information about stargazing opportunities at Broemmelsiek Park, visit www.asemonline.org. Remember if unfavorable weather conditions exist, please double check the ASEM website before going out to the Astronomy Viewing Area at Broemmelsiek Park. The ASEM is a family oriented astronomy club designed to make astronomy fun. Members range in age from eight to 80 and offer beginning to expert astronomy knowledge during the stargazing program at Broemmelsiek Park. Watch a short video on the weekly star shows . . .
