Universe in the Park (Night Skies)

-

Description

Did you know that Sandhill Wildlife Area has one of the darkest night skies in Wisconsin? Join UW-Madison astronomers to witness an extraordinary view of space as they present our “Universe in the Park.” The astronomers will briefly present information and observations about the night sky, the moon, and other celestial objects. After that, you are invited to attend the star party, where you can view objects in the sky through telescopes and chat with expert astronomers.

Meet in the Sandhill Outdoor Skills Center.

Preregistration is required before May 24th, along with a $5 registration fee per person. To register or for more information, please visit https://dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/Lands/WildlifeAreas/sandhill/calendar.html or contact Quinn Brownell at quinn.brownell@wisconsin.gov or 715-884-6335.
