What was Carl Sagan’s favorite song? What would Beethoven think of his music floating among the stars? Find out in the recording of Ann Druyan's Q&A, now on our YouTube!
Please TURN ON SUBTITLES—we had some issues with the audio and video recording :(

Open 8 PM to midnight tonight! We’re back to 50% cloud cover, but we might still get a glimpse at the Moon, Mars, and Venus before they set in the early evening.
Even if there’s not much to see, the fireflies from Fuertes are like stars of their own!
We’re open tonight (and every Friday through July)!
The cloud cover is only partial today, so after all the weeks of smoke and rain, tonight is an ideal time to observe with us!
Open 8 PM to midnight—but not dark enough to observe til after 9 ✨
