Wow, what a fantastic evening at Dark Sky! One of the largest crowds ever witnessed a perfect star-filled view with the occasional meteor and satellite… and rocket separation!

We hope you all enjoyed your visit and will come see us again soon.

Unfortunately, we’re forced to cancel Saturday night’s Up Close with the Moon event due to cloudy skies. After consulting several astro-specific forecasting tools, the weather looks unfavourable, with most predicting cloud cover all day and into the overnight hours.

As a result, we are unable to proceed with the event as these conditions are not conducive for stargazing.

Our apologies for any inconvenience.
