Astronomy in the Park

Linda Yin of Stockton looks at the solar eclipse through a telescope equipped with a protective filter during a watch party held by the Delta College Physics-Math-Computer Sciences Club and the the Stockton Astronomical Society on the campus of San Joaquin Delta College in Stockton on Oct. 14, 2023. It began at about 8 a.m. and lasted until about 10:40 a.m. with its peak at about 9:30 a.m. About 50 people attended the event. A solar eclipse is when the moon comes between the Earth and Sun. Stockton was just outside of the eclipse's path and experiences only a partial eclipse covering most but all of the Sun. The Oct. 14 eclipse was an annular eclipse. That's when the moon is at its farthest from the Earth and it doesn't entirely block out the Sun but leaves a ring often called the "ring of fire." A total eclipse will occur on April, 8 2024.

On Saturday, Nov. 18, Stockton Astronomical Society members will again bring out their telescopes for Astronomy in the Park. Telescope viewings take place once a month and feature a different deep sky object every time. This also happens on the Saturday closest to the first quarter moon.

Sunset is at 4:50 p.m. The Moon, Jupiter, Saturn and M13, or Star Cluster in Hercules will be seen then. The event is free, but the county charges $6 for parking.

  • Location: Oak Grove Regional Park, 4520 W. Eight Mile Rd. in Stockton

  • Hours: 4:50 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 18
