Final Cosmic Nights for 2022 at San Bernardino County Museum

The San Bernardino County Museum will hold its final Cosmic Night, an astronomy-themed evening event, tonight from 7-10 p.m. at the branch in Redlands.

Cosmic Nights at the San Bernardino County Museum are held in partnership with San Bernardino Valley Amateur Astronomers (SBVAA). Organized in 1958, SBVAA helps amateur astronomers in the San Bernardino Valley area to increase their knowledge and excitement in astronomy and spread that knowledge to the community.

The evenings feature telescope viewing, an opportunity to discuss astronomy with the telescope operators, and visitors are also encouraged to bring binoculars or set up their own telescopes.

The events take place outdoors, weather permitting, and guests are advised to wear comfortable clothing and shoes. Guests are welcome to set up portable lawn chairs and blankets for extended viewing. Museum galleries will be open during the event and regular admission applies. Museum members are free.

Tickets are available in advance online by visiting sbcounty.gov/museum, or may be purchased at the door.

The San Bernardino County Museum is located at 2024 Orange Tree Lane in Redlands. For more information, visit www.sbcounty.gov/museum/ .
