An Evening Under the Stars - Free Star Gazing Event May 25 & 26th

The Escambia Amateur Astronomers Association will host an Evening Under the Stars at the Gulfside Pavilion on Friday and Saturday, May 25 and 26. Discover the greatness of the night sky on beautiful Pensacola Beach. The Escambia Amateur Astronomers' Association will offer free star gazing at the Gulfside Pavilion.
Volunteers will set up nearly 20 telescopes ranging in strength and size from duplicates of Galileo's original telescope to today's incredible large-scope devices for the public to take a peek at wonders such as Jupiter, the Milky Way and other galaxies.
For a closer look, video cameras will also be used with some of the telescopes to display images on monitors up to 100 times more clearly than viewing through the telescope with your eye alone. Telescopes and binoculars will be set up for views of: the Moon, planets and other celestial objects just before sunset, clear skies permitting. Free parking is available in the Casino Beach parking lot, near the Beach Ball Water Tower.
