We will observe the Sun set through the Summer Solstice Notch at the Exelon Observatory ring at 8:29 pm. Almost a Stonehenge experience. The actual time of the solstice, ( or when the Sun stops it's northward movement is at 5:34 pm).
We will also set-up Telescopes and enjoy a Rare full Strawberry Moon on the Solstice - (Not since 1967) and three planets at this great evening of astronomical events with trail visitors.
Be there...you know you want to.
