Stargazing With The Northwoods Explorers at the North Lakeland Discovery Center

**DUE TO WEATHER, THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN MOVED TO SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 3** (original date was Friday, Sept 2)

We will view Saturn with its ring system and Jupiter with a few of its moons through high-performance telescopes.  With good seeing, we hope to view the Eagle Nebula, the Small Sagittarius Star Cloud, and the Andromeda Galaxy with image-stabilized binoculars.  We will also show M13 - the Great Globular Cluster in Hercules, and M57, the Ring Nebula which is the remains of a star that blew away its atmosphere.  Come learn more about how these objects fit into the big picture.

Program begins at 7:15 PM with an introductory program inside the Lodge, then stargazing 8:00 PM - 10:00 PM.  If the weather doesn't cooperate, we will extend the program inside the Lodge.  Back-up date will be Saturday, September 3, 2022.

Attendees must register through the Discovery Center to reserve your spot.  

White light flashlights are NOT allowed.  Please use red lights or cover your white light with many layers of red cellophane or a thick red balloon.  A white light shined into dark-adapted eyes is painful and ruins a person's view for up to 20 minutes so you might miss something important!
