FAYETTE — A night sky tour is set for 5:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 28, on Surry Hill.

People can join John Meader of Northern Stars Planetarium and Kennebec Land Trust for a hike and tour. The hike up Surry Hill is about one and a half to two miles round trip, with 200 feet of elevation gain. John will lead the group through a tour of the constellations and stars visible that evening. Attendees will also find and discuss any visible planets, the Milky Way, as well as meteors (shooting stars) and satellites.

People can bring binoculars to see planets, binary stars, star clusters and more using the “star hopping” method.

The cost is $10, or $5 for KLT members. Space is limited, and registration is required.
