Now led by astrophysicist Dr. Francis Toriello from Atlantic Cape Community College, we know that satellites and rocket launches are another exciting part of our night sky as well as spotting the International Space Station fly over Cape May. That’s why we’re offering an incredible opportunity to learn more about them on September 16, 2023, at 7:00 pm at Cape May Point Science Center! We’ll start by discussing how to spot satellites in the night sky and spot the ISS when it flies by. Knowing where to look and when to look can help you spot them for yourself. We’ll also explain the process of launching a rocket from Cape Canaveral in Florida or NASA Wallops Island in Virginia, two of the most well-known centers for space exploration.  Don’t miss your chance to learn more about these incredible feats of engineering – join Cape May Astro at The Cape May Point Science Center please arrive at 6:45 pm so we can promptly start at 7:00 pm.

We’d like to suggest car pooling out of respect to our neighbors in the Point. For the April event, the building, including the restrooms, will not be open and guests will only have access to the courtyard.
