It was a perfect clear and cool evening—very conducive for the Starry, Starry Night star-gazing event, which benefitted the Oracle Schools Foundation (OSF) on Friday, November 1, 2024.
Chris Mobley and Terry Joyce, amateur astronomers and members of the SaddleBrooke Skygazers, collaborated in order to provide star-gazing for over 30 individuals.
Through the use of three large (up to 18 inches) telescopes and assorted binoculars, attendees were able to “transported” to the planets, the stars and beyond in the dark skies over SaddleBrooke, provoking the unanswerable question: What’s up there?
Hearty hors d’oeuvres with assorted libations were provided by those who sponsored the evening.
The proceeds from the event benefitted the Oracle Schools Foundation (OSF), which funds pre-school (kindergarten prep) and other much needed educational programs.
Our Oracle Schools Foundation 2025 Gala will be held on Saturday, March 15 in the MountainView Ballroom.
You can help contribute to the Foundation in several ways:
