Join us for three evenings of stargazing with hobby astronomer Larry Knicl. Depending on the date, we will have the opportunity to observe planets and the Moon and Mars (June), Mars, Pluto, and the Moon (August), Saturn, Pluto, and Neptune, and possibly remnants of the Orionids meteor shower (October); and many deep sky objects, including star clusters, nebulae, other galaxies, and the varying seasonal constellations. These programs will be held at the parking lot near the park’s Sunset shelter (1st left turn upon entering the park). For your comfort, bring a chair or blanket, insect repellent, and a flashlight. To make viewing safer, observing will be done using a telescope connected to a video screen, rather than a telescope eyepiece. In the event of inclement weather or poor visibility, these programs may be canceled, so check the Friends of ALSP Facebook page before heading out if the sky isn’t clear.
For more information, please call (309) 776-3422 or email Bridget.Hinchee@illinois.gov
