February 21st
At Troy's Stage Nature Center this evening, enjoy the Orion nebula and the bright stars of winter through the telescopes of the Oakland Astronomy Club. Enjoy close-up views of our Moon, and Jupiter and its Moons. In the presentation for the evening, we'll compare the Moons of our solar system to our Moon, discuss the current, widely accepted theory of our Moon's formation, and touch on active missions to Jupiter and what they hope to uncover. Register with the Stage Nature Center.
March 7th
Join the Oakland Astronomy Club at Oakland Township's Historic Cranberry Lake Farmhouse for an indoor presentation about the amazing sights in the winter sky. Weather permitting, observe Jupiter, the colorful stars and nebula of Orion and more through the telescopes of the Oakland Astronomy Club. (And with any luck, we'll be able to see the new comet C/2024 E1.) Bring your curiosity and binoculars or borrow the Oakland Township Parks & Rec binoculars. Register with Oakland Township Parks and Rec.
