Virtual Open Night

During the Science Festival Open Nights, you can join our professional astronomers for an impressive tour of Nantucket’s night sky through a live-streamed telescope. Our astronomers will focus on deep sky objects, including star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies. In case of inclement weather, our astronomers will still hold the Virtual Open Night and use non-live images to explore the night sky. All three Open Nights will feature the same objects.

The 7th Annual Nantucket Science Festival will take place from March 13 - March 20. Join the Nantucket Maria Mitchell Association (MMA) and the Nantucket Community School (NCS) for a week-long celebration of all things STEAM, including take-home activity kits, online science demonstrations, video contests, and more.
