Dark Sky Program: Space, Stars & Science

Park Event · Obed Wild and Scenic River · Sep 12, 2026 · 7:30 PM–9:00 PM

How much space is really between planets? How do we recognize constellations? And what glows after dark? Explore those questions through hands-on activities that bring space and science to life.

Build constellations, explore the distances between planets, and use UV light to discover animals that fluoresce after dark. Then, as night falls, look through a large telescope for a closer view of a planet or star in the night sky.
