[section_title title=Where to See STARS in Georgia]
As we approach the shortest nights of the year, and consequently the longest & hottest days of the year, you may be looking for a way to get out and enjoy the evening cool down. Stargazing & learning a little about astronomy is a great way to enjoy summer evenings when it seems like everybody stays up a little later.
Listed by date & alphabetical city, you can find a nearby event or activity to occupy your summer evenings. You’ll learn some constellations, observe the night sky through powerful telescopes and maybe see some meteor showers!
First up are some great places, you can visit any day during visitor hours, to learn more about space & stars.

Fernbank Science Center and Coca Cola Space Science Center I haven’t been to. They both sound like fun and I’ll try to make a trip to at least Fernbank since I hear a lot about it. Thanks Candy!
Thanks for this info! My kids loved Fernbank last year. We need to go see some stars again.
