Volunteers point their telescopes at highlights of the night sky. Viewing starts at dark or 7 pm, whichever is later, and runs for two hours. Rain cancels it, but a few clouds or cold do not; check the 'Latest News Flash' on ASEM's website before going. Large groups are asked to email Outreach@asemonline.org first so enough telescope operators are there. ## Similar picks in St. Louis - [Pirates and Pumpkins with Underwater Pumpkin Carving at the St. Louis Aquarium](https://grassyknees.com/st-louis/activities/pirates-and-pumpkins-with-underwater-pumpkin-carving-at-the-st-louis-a--listing-e4d4a7e98109c9ea1e4aba18) — Sat, Oct 24 (+3 more dates) · 1:15 PM · St. Louis Aquarium at Union Station · With admission · checked Oct 20.
