Take a break from the hustle and bustle, sit back, and enjoy the beautiful canvas of our night sky! Join us immediately after the close of Twilight With Touchstone or drop by whenever you like as The Nature Nurture Center of Easton navigates us through the wonders of space. Telescopes and staff will be provided to guide you in viewing the stars, moon, and planets (dependent on favorable weather and viewing conditions).

The sliver on the lefthand side is the most detailed, allowing us to make out hundreds of craters that pockmark its surface. Photo by Imad Rahman.]
