Moon on Cloudy day.
(2020 pick) Who among us has not, at some point since last March, turned to gaze up at the night sky? We're not going to presume to know what kind of existential thoughts came to your mind, but we are willing to bet they were deeper than "Is that Cassiopeia?" Now, thanks to virtual skywatching with the Madison Astronomical Society, you can at least have that question answered, if not "What does all this mean?" Members of the society will guide participants across the night sky, explaining the moon, the stars, and whatever other celestial events might be happening that evening. A live telescope feed, weather permitting, is on the docket.
press release: Young and old alike are invited to view the Moon and other celestial objects, such as Jupiter and Saturn, through a multitude of different telescopes provided by the Madison Astronomical Society (MAS). Activities include short kid-friendly presentations about the moon and other celestial phenomena, plus a kids' fun zone with educational games and prizes!
FREE ticket required for admission. Tickets are required for all attendees; subject to venue capacity and are issued on a first come first serve basis. There is a limit of 8 tickets per patron. If rain/cloud cover, family learning activities, presentations, and games will be moved inside.
