Petersburg VA Real Estate: Visit Skywatch!
What is a Skywatch? A Skywatch is a public viewing of celestial objects through telescopes that have been brought in for the event. The Richmond Astronomical Society and Petersburg National Battlefield will hold several Skywatches beginning in the spring of 2011. Members of the Society set up their telescopes for anyone who wants to look at what is visible that night. Some of the telescopes will be commercially made and some will have been hand made by the person who brought it.
Discover the wonders of Virginia’s night sky and hear stories associated with the stars. To enjoy this ranger led program, bring a jacket, a flashlight, a telescope if you have one and an optional blanket to lay back and enjoy the sights and sounds of Petersburg at night. The program begins at sunset.
The program will be held at Grants Headquarters at City Point in Hopewell Virginia from 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM at Petersburg National Battlefield at 5001 Siege Rd in Petersburg on Saturday, June 11th.
