Join MMA professional astronomers and staff for a very special, early-morning Sky gazing event at Loines Observatory. On the morning of Sunday, July 23rd we will open up the MMA’s telescopes to catch live views of the crown jewels of the night sky, the great gas giant planets Jupiter and Saturn. Come marvel at Saturn’s beautiful ring system and try to spot Jupiter’s Galilean moons. As these planets will not be visible this summer during the evening hours, this is a great opportunity to catch a glimpse of these great planets through the MMA telescopes – a sight you will not soon forget!
This program is designed to be interesting for adults and children of all ages. Celestial Stakeout will meet at the MMA Loines Observatory at 59 Milk Street, Nantucket MA. All registered children must be accompanied by a registered adult to participate in this program. Pre-registration is required for this program as space is limited to 75 participants. Registration closes at 11pm on the night before the program. In the event of inclement weather, this program will be cancelled and participants notified.
Cost Per Adult Participant: $35
Cost Per Youth Participant: $15

Cancellation and Refund Policy: We understand that plans change! Because we are a small non-profit that benefits from the contributions made by our generous patrons and supporters, cancellations make it more challenging for us to manage program enrollment. Tickets are non-refundable, should you choose to cancel. However, tickets are eligible for an exchange before the date and time of the scheduled program subject to a $5 rescheduling service fee, per reservation, and program availability. If you wish to reschedule, please contact us at info@mariamitchell.org.
In the event of a complete event or program cancellation by us ticket-holders will receive a ticket exchange or refund. Requests for exchanges or refunds must be made in writing, and received, no more than seven days from the date printed on the ticket. Rescheduling is not guaranteed and is based on current availability. No refund or credit will be given if the ticket holder requests a time that is unavailable for any reason.
All offerings are subject to cancellation by the MMA at any time, with or without notice for reasons deemed necessary by the organization. In the event of a cancellation by us, we will make every effort to provide a ticket exchange at an amenable date and time to both parties and if we cannot, we will refund the purchase and credit the original payment method.
