Instructor: Bob King Want to learn more about what’s twinkling overhead at night? Get all the latest space news? Join us for four weeks of heaven as we survey the sky. We’ll use the planetarium to get better acquainted with the current constellations, planets and deep-sky objects. On clear nights after class, we’ll meet at Hawk Ridge to see these spectacular sights through a telescope. Class will be held in person at the UMD Marshall Alworth Planetarium. Please bring an additional $8.00 fee per person that will go toward supporting UMD planetarium programs, payable to UMD and given to the instructor the first night of class.

In this hands-on class, we will learn the basics of maps, compasses, and using them together for navigation. This class will have inside and outside components - please note if you have mobility challenges or other needs during registration so that accommodations can be made. All materials are provided during class, but participants have the option to take a compass home for $20.
