HURRY! ONLY ONE SPOT LEFT. ‘The sight of a planet through a telescope is worth all the course on astronomy,’ claimed Emerson, and we agree! Instructor Rick Combs has a bit of both for you in the clear skies of Tuolumne Meadows.
In this course you’ll view planets, meteors, globular clusters, nebulae, the Milky Way, and many more delights of the night sky.
Spend the day exploring Yosemite on your own, then gather each evening at an accessible high point to learn about star lore and mythology, the motions of the earth, moon, and planets, direction-finding using the sun and stars, and identification of the stars and constellations. The YA member price is $139. Hiking: easy, some travel at night, 8600'
