Telescopes take viewers from Redlands to the heavens – San Bernardino Sun


This year’s Cosmic Nights astronomy-themed event series in Redlands blasted off for the stars Saturday, March 12, at the San Bernardino County Museum.

The museum partners with the San Bernardino Valley Amateur Astronomers to offer the events, which will continue into spring.

The group noted on its website, sbvaa.org, that Uranus and the moon were available for viewing Saturday, as well as “all the winter wonders like the Orion Nebula.”

The outdoor series continues from 7 to 10 p.m. April 9, weather permitting, at the museum, which is located at 2024 Orange Tree Lane.

Participants can bring lawn chairs, blankets, telescopes and binoculars.

Museum galleries will be open during the events. Admission is $10 for adults, $8 for seniors over the age of 60 and active military personnel, $7 for students with ID, $5 for children ages 5-12, and free for children under 5.

Tickets and information are available at sbcounty.gov/museum.
