Stargazers who want to take a bit of a drive can go to the Lucerne Valley Branch Library’s Observatory Inaugural Event this Saturday, September 7th from 6 to 9pm. According to the Lucerne Valley Unified School District, the library observatory is a joint project of retired NASA Astronaut Dr. Jose Hernandez and the company he founded, Tierra Luna Engineering, and the County of San Bernardino.
Tierra Luna Engineering specializes in creating educational products in science and technology to increase student interest in STEM programs. The newly installed observatory equipment includes a motorized ScopeDome, marking the first observatory with this feature in the United States.
