Our particular Oct. 24 event starts at 7 p.m. EDT at the Coca-Cola Space Science Center. We will have a tour of the constellations and bright stars in the Omnisphere Planetarium.

As always, you are welcome to bring your own telescope, and if you should need assistance with it, our staff and volunteers will be happy to help you.
