Eye on the Sky Astronomy Night

09:30 pm to 10:30 pm
Paynetown State Recreation Area
http://stateparks.in.gov/2954

*Weather Notice* This program requires clear or mostly clear skies. It will be cancelled if there is too much cloud cover. If sky conditions look iffy, call the Activity Center at 812-837-9967 to check program status.

Drop by and join us as we turn our eyes upward to look at stars, constellations, planets, and more… we’ll have a telescope and binoculars to give you a closer look at some objects – and we’ll point out other objects that are visible with the “naked eye.”

Saturn is at opposition tonight! What does that mean? The ringed planet will be at its closest approach to Earth and its face will be fully illuminated by the Sun. That means that it is the best time to view Saturn and its moons.

*Special Request* Please do not shine your vehicle headlights onto the swimming beach when arriving/departing! Bright lights make it harder for our eyes to see all of the amazing objects in the night sky.

Cost: Property Entrance Fee is $7 per vehicle (Indiana license plate) or $9 per vehicle (out-of-state)
