Overview
A 30-acre park and

Meet the friendly SOUTHERN CROSS ASTROS, 8-10 p.m. every Saturday evening all
year at the popular, outdoor SCAS Observatory.
Weather permitting, the free, public SCAS Saturday Nite Live weekly event
provides sharp images of planets, Moon, deep sky objects and seasonal
constellations in hi-tech equipment
staffed by SCAS members. You might see a satellite, a brilliant meteor or the
International Space Station from the darkest skies nearest to Miami. If your
telescope needs `help' our SCAS techs will come to your rescue!
Don't leave home before checking the weather forecast! Bring your date, family,
boss, friends, classmates, mother-in-law, house guests or just yourself, folding
chairs, snacks and the Bug Cream! Wear jeans and bring a long-sleeved top. It's
a fun and free educational evening under the stars....the best deal in town!
Director Barb Yager advises to plan your visit when the
magnificent planets: ringed Saturn rises in the east late evening, fiery Mars in
the south, and brilliant Venus rising in the west -- all will be visible in
November.
Use Miami kids and make Miami fun for the kids...and you!
