(2022 Isthmus pick) With multiple billionaires launching their own space programs in recent years, it feels almost quaint that NASA is relaunching a moon exploration program. But space is a wondrous thing and a good time to become more familiar with what's out there is at Monona Terrace's periodic skywatching event. Madison Astronomical Society members provide telescopes and guide participants across the night sky, explaining the moon, the stars, and whatever other celestial events might be happening that evening. Short presentations for all ages and a kids' fun zone are also on hand. It's free but tickets are required; find info at mononaterrace.com.
media release: Young and old alike are invited to view the Moon and other celestial objects, such as Jupiter, Neptune 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.
