Dark Sky Event: Equinox Skies

The Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection presents a special astronomical event celebrating the changing seasons as we approach the autumn equinox. Beginning at 7:15 PM (just after sunset at 7:11 PM), this evening offers superb dark sky conditions with the new moon providing maximum darkness. September presents a unique opportunity to observe both late summer features and emerging autumn constellations in a single evening.

Check back for program details.

The event takes place in designated park areas as specified in our Dark Sky Park Protocol. No pre-registration is required. Weather cancellations will be posted on the park website.
