Victor Valley Museum hosts Cosmic Nights event with guests from NASA Goldstone Complex

Join us for Cosmic Nights with special guests Leslie Cunkelman and Diana Mendoza-Barajas from the Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex as they explore the wonder of nature in deep space at the Victor Valley Museum on Saturday, Aug. 26, from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m.

The San Bernardino Valley Amateur Astronomers (SBVAA) will also be onsite stargazing and observing the night sky.

You will not want to miss this out-of-the-world event! Cosmic Nights takes place outdoors, weather permitting, and guests are advised to wear comfortable clothing and shoes. Museum galleries will also be open during the event.

This partnership helps SBVAA, founded in 1958, achieve their goal of introducing the community to astronomy, to organize amateur astronomers in the San Bernardino Valley area and to increase knowledge and excitement in astronomy.

General admission is $10 (adult), $8 (military or senior), $7 (student) and $5 (children ages 6 to 12). Children five and under and Museum Association members receive 50 percent off admission.

Parking is free, and the museum is accessible to persons with disabilities. The Victor Valley Museum is located at 11873 Apple Valley Rd. in Apple Valley.
