San Diego Astronomy Association Hosts Astronomy Night
The Mt. Helix Park Foundation and the San Diego Astronomy Association have collaborated to bring stargazers a unique opportunity to view the night sky from one of the most beloved viewpoints in all of San Diego County. For one night each year the public is invited to enter the gates after dark and witness the cosmos through high-resolution telescopes provided by SDAA members or to bring their own viewing devices. Scheduled dates typically align with one or more astrological phenomenon making the experience one to remember.
