PORT ANGELES — John Goar is winding up his summer-long one-hour astronomy programs at Hurricane Ridge, 17 miles up a paved road from Port Angeles, in Olympic National Park.
It's free, and Goar sets up several telescopes that can be used to view the cosmos.
Meet him at the Hurricane Ridge Visitor Center — he'll be there at 9:30 p.m. tonight, Saturday, Sunday and Monday — and for a final program at 9:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 11.
If skies are cloudy, Goar's program will be canceled.
For program status, phone the park phone recording at 360-565-3131 after 4 p.m. the day of the program.
In addition, you can explore the night sky indoors at a one-hour, all-ages, planetarium-style program at the ONP Visitor Center in Port Angeles, 3002 Mount Angeles Road, at 7 p.m. Sept. 11.
