Visit a mountain top and take home the universe

 

 

 

On August 2nd, our Moon and the planets Venus, Mars, Saturn and Jupiter will adorn the evening like a string of diamonds, inviting us to enjoy the beauty of a summer night. Stars, star clusters, galaxies and a thousand celestial wonders span the sky above Bear Basin Butte, waiting for you to gather and treasure them for a lifetime.
