About this event
Guided stargazing with the Chicago Astronomer and professional-grade telescopes, out on the darkest spit of land in the central city. Each session comes with a short talk on whatever is visible that night, and beginners are the point rather than a tolerated extra.
Why we picked it
Telescopes, a guide and a genuinely dark patch of lakefront, twenty minutes from the Loop.
