Star Party – Messier Objects 
The Messier Objects are a set of 110 astronomical objects cataloged by the 18th century French astronomer Charles Messier in his “Catalog of Nebulae and Star Clusters.” Because Messier was interested in finding only comets, he created a list of non-comet objects that frustrated his hunt for them. The compilation of this list, in collaboration with his assistant Pierre Méchain, is known as the Messier catalog. This catalog of objects is one of the most famous lists of astronomical objects. Free, open to all ages.
Date: Saturday, July 7
Time: 8 p.m. – 11 p.m.
