Night Sky Exploration
Fri, June 13, 2025
Join a ranger as we tour the constellations of the night sky!
UPDATE to tonight's program: The conditions tonight may not be favorable for constellation viewing. If that's the case, we will set up in the Rec Hall and use Stellarium to navigate our night sky. Visitors can also decorate a star finder!
We'll share stories about some of the well-known constellations such as Ursa major and minor, Hercules, Virgo, Libra and more!
We ask that you do NOT bring any white light flashlights. Red lights only to allow our eyes to adjust to the dark.
Bring: Bug spray, a comfortable chair, hydration. Optional: binoculars
Where: Day Use picnic area. Look for the red lights
