Tuesday, April 22 (8:00 pm – 10:00 pm)
Join us for “Dark Skies,” an interactive event dedicated to exploring and understanding light pollution and its impact on our environment and night sky visibility. Through a series of interactive stations, participants will engage in hands-on activities designed to illuminate the causes and effects of light pollution, as well as discover practical solutions to mitigate its presence in our communities. This event promises an enlightening experience for all ages, fostering awareness and inspiring action towards preserving our natural nightscapes. We will also have telescopes available for viewing of some of the fantastic spring-time deep sky objects.
