APPLE VALLEY – Enjoy an evening gazing at the stars, Nov. 12, at Victor Valley Museum’s Cosmic Nights. In partnership with the High Desert Astronomical Society, the event will feature telescope viewing and an opportunity to discuss astronomy with telescope operators.

The San Bernardino County Museum’s exhibits of regional, cultural, natural history and other exciting events reflect the Board of Supervisors effort to achieve the Countywide Vision. Celebrating arts, culture, and education in the county creates a quality of life for residents and visitors.

The county works with local nonprofit High Desert Astronomical Society to provide astronomy education to the public at the Cosmic Nights event. The organization was formed to train volunteer astronomers on how to operate and maintain the astronomical equipment at the Luz Observatory in Apple Valley. 

The volunteer astronomers will hold discussions with visitors about observations in the sky at Cosmic Nights.

The event will take place outside – weather permitting. Visitors are advised to wear comfortable clothing and shoes. Portable lawn chairs and blankets can be set up for extended viewing. Visitors can also bring binoculars or set up their own telescopes.
