Join park rangers as they watch for the comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) in the night sky! This comet was discovered last year, and is predicted to be so bright in the night sky that you might just see it with the naked eye.
Rangers will have telescopes out to get a closer look, and will give you a guided tour of the night sky while you take in the views. No pre-registration is required. For more information, please call (540) 254-0795.
