Exploring the Night Sky

On Tuesday, June 14th, 2022, the Friends of San Pedro Valley Park welcomed back Bing Quock, amateur astronomer from the California Academy of Sciences. The lecture is entitled “Exploring the Night Sky.” What’s up in the evening sky that can be seen with the unaided eye or with just a pair of binoculars? Amateur astronomer Bing Quock gave us a tour of the heavens, including seasonal constellations and asterisms, notable deep-sky objects, and a sneak peek at a few upcoming events, including meteor showers, interesting configurations of the Moon and planets, and notable space launches. Interested in purchasing a telescope for yourself or as a gift? What are some recommendations and affordable resources? He explored the heavenly hobby of stargazing!
