Event

Join WLP and the Big Sky Astronomy Club for a memorable night under the stars!  See Jupiter and its moons shining in the west, very close to Earth's own crescent moon. As darkness sets in look through our telescopes to view distant galaxies, glowing nebulae, and dazzling star clusters scattered across the spring sky.

Please bring your own chairs and blankets and dress warmly. Bring binoculars and a red filtered flashlight if you have them. To preserve the sensitivity of our night vision we ask that you do not use of normal white light flashlights or cell phone lights. 

Hot cocoa and snacks provided in celebration of Earth Day!
