Exploring the Sky is held in the Rock Creek Park near the Nature Center planetarium, in the field just south of the intersection of Military and Glover Roads, N.W. For additional information, call the Nature Center at [202]-895-6070. This joint National Park Service and NCA program has been held for many years. Exploring the Sky is an informal program that for nearly fifty years has offered monthly opportunities for anyone in the Washington area to see the stars and planets through telescopes from a location within the District of Columbia.
