Want to experience celestial delights in Jasper’s dark sky? Join the astronomers from the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada’s Edmonton Centre at this free event for views through their telescopes of solar system and deep space objects.

In case of cloud, we will have telescopes on display, photos and information to share, and conversations about all things astronomical. (Rain may force cancellation.)
