Please note that program will be cancelled in case of forecasted clouds, rain, snow or poor visibility.

Want to learn more about what we can see in the night sky? What can we see in an urban environment with light pollution? Plenty! Join the Greenpoint Library for an evening of stargazing in our Rooftop Garden. We’ll learn how to find objects and identify them in the night sky. 

The Rooftop Garden is elevator accessible.

Moon Phase:  Waxing gibbous 64.1%.  The Moon appears to be more than one-half but not fully illuminated by direct sunlight. The fraction of the Moon's disk that is illuminated is increasing.
