 with an astronomer from Go Stargazing.\nLearn how our ancestors interprete
 d the sky with a laser-guided tour of the constellations.\nThis cruise enc
 ompasses a new Moon period\; with no bright Moon in the sky and no light p

 inoculars may allow viewing some of the planet's Moons and famous ring sys
 tem.\nMars and Jupiter will be shining brightly and can be observed rising

 th of September\, the half Moon will appear sandwiched between Mars and Ju
 piter in a spectacular conjunction.\nA pattern of stars called the Summer 
 Triangle will be prominent throughout the cruise\; our astronomer will gla
 dly guide you around this patch of sky rich with deep sky objects observab
 le using binoculars.\nView the most distant object that can be seen with j
 ust your eyes -- the Andromeda Galaxy. Our astronomer will show you how to
  find it using binoculars.\nShooting stars or meteors are always a possibi
