This Week at Ivy Creek
Friday, December 27 | 7:00pm
Fourth Fridays Under the Stars
Under The Stars is being held on fourth Fridays starting in December. Learn about upcoming celestial events in a short lecture given in the education building at 7:00 PM. Afterwards, go outside where local area amateur astronomers will help point out constellations, planets, nebulae, star clusters, and distant galaxies. Have a look through telescopes of the Charlottesville Astronomical Society, or bring your own. Telescopes will be in the field next to the parking lot at the Ivy Creek Natural Area.
Cloudy skies cancel.
Although this event is free and open to the public, we ask that you contact the Charlottesville Astronomical Society at vicepresident@cvilleastro.com if you plan to attend. Only if at least one visitor makes contact and confirms attendance, can the CAS guarantee that they will be at Ivy Creek for their presentation and telescope observing session.

About Ivy Creek
Scenically shadowed by the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Ivy Creek Natural Area (ICNA) is a 219-acre preserve bordering the South Fork Rivanna Reservoir in Charlottesville, Virginia.
With seven miles of trails traversing a mix of upland woods, pine stands, fields, streams, and shoreline, ICNA is an ideal site to learn about the rich natural history characteristic of Central Virginia.
