PUBLIC OPEN NIGHTS

THANKS TO OUR VOLUNTEERS

Thanks to the dedicated team who make the open nights possible. They give up their evenings to bring the universe to our visitors. They receive no payment of any kind except the satisfaction of doing a great job.

Without your sacrifice the open nights would not be possible. Thank you!
