February Stargazing at VLM

The BBAA has been invited to collaborate with the Virginia Living Museum (VLM) for their event. We will be showing the night sky while the VLM has various events planned throughout the evening. The star gazing provided by the BBAA is free for all but reservations and tickets are required for the planetarium and laser shows. For full details and to purchase your ticket for the planetarium and laser shows please visit the VLM's website at this link: https://thevlm.org/events/february-stargazing-and-laser-lights-show/ 

Event opens at 5:00 pm • Telescopes after sunset • Event ends by 11:30 pm

When the sun goes down, the night sky lights up at the Virginia Living Museum. Join us after hours for free outdoor stargazing (weather permitting) and an unforgettable lineup of Planetarium and Laser shows. Whether you’re here to explore the constellations or rock out to a sky-synced soundtrack, there’s something for everyone.
