Monthly Stargazing Events
A benefit stargazing event will, weather permitting, occur the week before each new moon. The event supports the preservation of our nightscape. Sky preservation work will:
- help property/business owners lessen light pollution
- qualify this area as a DarkSky International Community
- update Marin County Lighting regulations
Join astronomy teacher and storyteller extraordinaire Don Jolley before each new moon to learn the names of planets, stars, and constellations and hear spellbinding stories about billions and billions of celestial bodies.
Look on the right side of this page for upcoming stargazings and Don’s weather reports.
