Christmas Candlelight Tour and Stargazing

Christmas Candlelight Tour and Stargazing

November 27, 2024

The Department of Physics and Astronomy is partnering once again with the Marble Springs State Historic Site for a night under the stars!

The December 13 event begins with storytelling as historic reenactors share tales of 18th-century holiday traditions. Next comes a tour through charming and festive candlelit cabins. Finally, our physics graduate students will share their knowledge of astronomy and guide visitors through the night sky with telescopes set up on the main lawn.

This event is perfect for families, history buffs, and anyone who loves a starry night under the open sky.

Admission is free and open to everyone! You can RSVP and learn more about the event in greater detail at: https://www.facebook.com/share/kB2uj3CGa8sNLk3y/
