While we hem and haw through life's everyday struggles, we often forget about the wondrousness of the natural universe that Carl Sagan and Neil DeGrasse Tyson tried to teach us about through their Cosmos television series. But Astronomy Night at the The Reserve's Richard and Donna O'Neill Conservancy brings us just a little bit closer to Taurus, Orion's Belt, and the other eighty-plus constellations out there. Helpful volunteers guide you on a night hike through rural terrain away from the noise and light pollution of the city for an optimal viewing experience of the night sky and are on hand to answer questions and feed your head with knowledge of the heavenly bodies. Warm sweater and flashlight are recommended, advance reservations are required.
