Astronomy in the Park
Summer 1998
Once again, Steve and Irene Little will be presenting an astronomy
program again this year at Rocky Mountain National Park at the Upper Beaver Meadows site. The observing sessions will be held on June 19, July 3, 17 and
31, and August 12 (a Wednesday night meteor watch), 14, and 28. For
directions, take the small turnoff
about 1/2 mile beyond the Bear Lake turnoff on Trail Ridge Rd.
The sessions begin at dusk, with approximately 10 telescopes made available by Irene and Steve Little as
well as members of the Northern Colorado Astronomical Society. The
interest has been high in the past among the varied age groups of
visitors
to the park, many of whom have never had the opportunity to view the
night
sky through a telescope before these sessions. The volunteers add to
that
experience with their enthusiasm to share their knowledge of astronomy
throughout the evening. A great way to end a visit to the park!
