Join members of the Cape Fear Astronomical Society for an outstanding observation of the universe outside Earth. Enjoy telescope viewing and interactive education on the moon, stars, planets, and other objects that are OUT OF THIS WORLD! The program is scheduled to start just after sunset and ends before park closing time (hours may vary).
