The night sky takes center stage this summer at Clackamas Community College's Environmental Learning Center (ELC). In partnership with the Rose City Astronomers, the Environmental Learning Center is hosting a series of free public viewings at the Haggart Observatory, culminating in the annual CCC Star Party in August.

Community members of all ages are invited to explore the stars through a powerful 24-inch Newtonian reflector telescope housed in the Haggart Observatory dome, as well as through portable telescopes operated by Rose City Astronomers volunteers. Attendees can enjoy guided stargazing, learn about constellations, and ask questions of knowledgeable astronomy enthusiasts. Lakeside Hall will be open during all viewings for opportunities to learn more about the night's skies.
