Event

Free public stargaze

Bellevue College's Astronomy Department and the Science and Math Institute are pleased to sponsor free stargazes in July.

For our evening summer stargazes, telescopes will be set up to view different astronomical objects in the sky. The stargaze will last until crowds die out, or 11:00PM, whichever comes first. Access to the stargaze is via the stairwell near room B-134 downstairs, or B-262 upstairs. Continue on up to the rooftop. If you need special assistance, please let us know in advance. Stargazes are intended for adults and mature children (the roof does not have a railing). Stargazes are weather permitting and clouds or haze could cancel the stargaze at any time. Please check on the status of any stargaze before coming, by visiting the SAMI website: https://www.bellevuecollege.edu/sami/planetarium-shows/

Admission is free for each stargaze, but reservations must be made in advance. Ticket reservations will begin starting at noon a week prior to the stargaze. Reservations can be made through Brown Paper Tickets at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/ with the search term "Bellevue Planetarium."

There is limited capacity to each stargaze. When you finalize your reservation on Brown Paper Tickets, you will receive a confirmation email. There is information in that email about cancelling your reservations in case you are unable to attend. We do not charge for these events, but we need your help to keep it that way please follow the steps in the confirmation email to release your tickets if you cannot attend.

Parking is free in the parking garage after 3:00PM in all lots. For more information call the BC Science Division at 425.564.2321.
