lot at the advertised time. The tours can
be purchased at any Major Social Center
office or online. The tour fee includes
motor coach transportation, tour director,
admissions, advertised meal (tax and tip)

of the tour company to pre-arrange and pre-pay

and meals, no refunds will be issued after

Members and their guests. You may register

Friday: Kitt Peak National Observatory Nighttime
Tour — Travel to Kitt Peak National Observatory,
located
at 7,000’ in the Quinlan Mountains, for this very
special evening. We begin with a stop at their
Visitor Center where
we will examine the exhibits that describe this
national observatory and other interesting topics.
We enjoy a light meal
and then an introduction to astronomy and the
night sky will be given by a docent. Next, we
learn how to identify
stars and the constellations. Once outdoors we
will explore the night skies and view them with
high-powered binoculars.
We then enter one of the domes to view through
a telescope and observe the heavens in all of
its grandeur. Come
along and discover your universe. Good walking
shoes (closed toe), pants (not shorts) and a jacket
are highly recommended. (In case of inclement
weather we reserve the right to insert an alternate
astronomy program presented by Kitt Peak). Fee
