The first free stargazing session of the new year is set for Saturday at Haverhill’s Tattersall Farm.
Weather permitting, amateur astronomer Mike McDougal and other members of the North Shore Amateur Astronomy Club will set up telescopes and help the public find planets, star clusters, binary stars, nebulae and faint galaxies Saturday, Feb. 28, beginning at 7 p.m., at the farm, 542 N. Broadway, Haverhill. The moon, Jupiter and Orion Nebula are expected to be easy to spot this time of year.
Visitors are advised to follow the red glow sticks from the parking lot to the observing area and asked not to use flashlights or flash photography as they approach the telescopes.
If weather forces postponement, stargazing takes place Sunday, March 1.
