Observe the changes that occur as day shifts to night from the top of Chickatawbut Hill.

After enjoying the sunset from the top of the hill, we'll check out the moons of Jupiter as the biggest planet makes its closest approach to Earth (about 414 million miles).

With some luck, we may catch sight of some early Eta Aquarid meteors, space junk left behind by Halley's Comet.

We'll wrap up the evening by toasting marshmallows around the campfire and enjoying some celestial stories.
