![]() Brandon Porter, Crystal Coast Stargazers Once a month, the park and its partner, the Crystal Coast Stargazers, hold an Astronomy Night at the Harkers Island Visitor Center. This easily reached area is an ideal spot for learning about constellations, spotting any planets in the sky, watching for the International Space Station on one of its passes overhead, and even using a telescope to see objects deeper in space such as nebula and other galaxies. The Crystal Coast Stargazers will set up their telescopes for viewing some of the more distant celestial objects or to give you a closer view of the nearer planets.
Directions to the Harkers Island Visitor Center:
![]() During the summer months, NASA Solar System Ambassador programs start at 8:00 pm in the Harkers Island Visitor Center Theater. Programs are given rain or clear skies. Outside telescope viewing starts after the scheduled NASA Solar System Ambassador program and is weather dependent. Jump to dateSearch Filters |
