Star Gaze at Bok
Buy Tickets
$5 per person. (Members and Non-Members). Children under 5 are free.
Come star gaze with us on April 24, and join our friends from WEDU for a sneak peek of the PBS documentary, “400 Years of the Telescope.” The film, beautifully photographed in 4K digital cinematography, is a visually stunning chronicle of the history of the telescope from the time of Galileo, its profound impact upon the science of astronomy, and how both shape the way we view ourselves in the midst of an infinite universe.
We’re excited to be one of three locations in and around the Tampa Bay area participating in the event that is open to the general public. Admission is $5 per person (including members); children under 5 are free. Military free with ID. Seating is limited and scholarship tickets are available.
Following refreshments and snacks, you will be able to view Saturn and other deep sky celestial wonders through numerous telescopes (weather permitting).
