One of the best things about living in Crestline is the clarity of the night sky, so it makes sense that the Mountain Skies Astronomical Society (MSAS) would call the area home.

Taking advantage of their location in Lake Arrowhead, the non-profit charity hosts regular events relating to astronomy. In October, the MSAS will hold two such events.

On October 4th, the MSAS will host a skygazer event entitled “Exploring the Known Universe,” which will attempt to answer questions and myths related to the universe as we know it. Then on October 20th, the topic will be “Premier Telescopes in Astronomy,” which will talk about the use of telescopes in astronomy.

Both events will consist of a lecture, slide show/demonstrations, observatory viewing session (weather permitting), and question/answer session. They are also family-friendly events, so they are open to attendees of all ages.

Tickets to each of the events is $7 for adults and $5 for children, in advance. An additional $2 charge will apply for tickets purchased day-of. You can get more information on the events listed above, as well as purchase event tickets, by calling them at 909-336-1699.

The MSAS Astronomy Village is located at 2001 Observatory Way in Lake Arrowhead. For directions or more information, visit the MSAS website.
