Join the Frosty Drew Astronomers for a night under spooky October skies. We will have views of Jupiter, Uranus and the Moon in our telescopes. In the Sky Theatre we will have activities to celebrate astronomy and Halloween. On the grounds we will broadcast the original Orson Wells radio broadcast of The War of The Worlds. Loads of candy will be available as well throughout the night. As the witching hour approaches we will direct our observation towards the constellation Perseus where Algol, The Demon Star, resides. Algol is an eclipsing binary that will become quite dim about 1:00 a.m. and then brighten back up before sunrise.

Dig out that old costume, put on your mask and come out to the creepy woodlands of Ninigret Park to celebrate the departure from the lighter half of the year and plunge into the darker half... If you dare...
