Thank Heavens! Stargazing returns to the South Florida Science Museum’s Observatory
(West Palm Beach, Fl) Ever wonder what Mars looks like? Are craters, oceans and volcanoes on Venus like what we have on Earth? Come find out at the South Florida Science Museum’s newly reopened Observatory. Damaged in the wake of Hurricane Wilma’s wrath and tucked away for almost five years, the Observatory at the South Florida Science Museum is reopening to a starry-eyed public the last Friday of every month, premiering on August 27th for the Museum’s monthly “Nights at the Museum” from 6 to 10 pm.“Nights at the Museum” will be a regular feature at the South Florida Science Museum on the last Friday of every month.
CEO Lew Crampton with the telescope
Craters, comets and galaxies are just parts of the night sky that guests will be treated to at the spectacular viewing monthly event. The 14 inch F-11 Schmidt-Cassegrain optical Celestron telescope sits in the Museum’s dome which opens and rotates to allow for the best views of the stars and planets.In addition to the Observatory, “Nights at the Museum” will feature other more earthly “ScienTerrific” activities including exciting electrons, shark dissections and touch tank demonstrations.
“As long as weather cooperates, our Observatory reopening will haveviews of the moon, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and its rings and views of brighter deep sky objects such as open and globular clusters,” noted Lew Crampton, chief executive officer for the South Florida Science Museum.“The reopening of the Observatory is sure to mesmerize and educate guests about the inner magic of the solar system through a high powered lens, unveiling a sky that remains hidden to the naked eye.We are thrilled to reopen the Observatory and will hopefully turn casual sky gazers into astronomy enthusiasts by revealing all of the wonders that lie in our spectacular solar system.”
The Astronomical Society of the Palm Beaches will be on–site with additional telescopes and will be available to answer all the eager stargazers’ questions.All exhibits will also be open, including Astronaut, a full dome-planetarium movie.
The Observatory was last used in the summer of 2005 before Hurricane Wilma ripped through South Florida and the Observatory dome.The Observatory suffered water leakage during Hurricane Wilma and was sealed shut to prevent further damage. The South Florida Science Museum was able to repair the damage while still preserving the integrity of the Observatory.Recently completed repairs will offer great access to South Florida’s summertime skies.

The Palms West Community Foundation, as part of its Women in Business series, is hosting a luncheon on Thursday, September 23 at Binks Forest Golf Club beginning at noon. IberiaBank is sponsoring the event which will feature the #1 New York Times best-selling author, Tami Hoag, as the speaker. Hoag has long divided her time between Los Angeles and Wellington, due to her passion for riding, and she has even competed at a national level in dressage. But, luckily for Wellington and the Women in Business, Hoag has decided to relocate to Wellington as a full-time resident this year.
Hoag has more than thirteen consecutive NY imes bestsellers to her credit; has more than forty books in print, and has been published in more than twenty languages. Her work encompasses a wide range of styles from romantic comedy to romantic suspense, but she is most well-known for her thrillers with their fast-paced plots and dead-on police procedure. Wellington’s most recent full-time resident–Hoag will captivate the Women in Business crowd with her spell-binding tales about her lifetime of experiences in both the literary world and in the equestrian community of dressage.
The cost for the luncheon is $25.00 for Palms West Chamber members and $35.00 for non-chamber members. For reservations, please go to www.palmswest.com, and click on the Women in Business icon on the right-hand side. Or, you can call Maureen Gross at the Palms West Chamber office—(561)790-6200.
