Harrison Bay Star Party
January 11 @ 6:00 pm – 10:00 pm
UPDATE 1/11/25 11:00 am: OK Folks – due to the extremely hazardous road conditions we are cancelling tonight’s Star Party. Stay home and stay Safe!
However, do take a peek at the gorgeous waxing gibbous Moon tonight – it will be beautiful reflected off the snow! The blazing yellowish “star” to the right of the Moon is Jupiter, and the dimmer but obviously red “star” down and to the left is Mars. Venus will be blazing in the western sky at sunset!
********************************************************************
Please join us at the Rec Hall parking area for an evening of astronomical observations with visual telescopes, Electronically-Assisted scopes and monitors, and just looking up with our eyes!
Family-friendly, accessible, and guaranteed awesome! You do not need to bring a telescope – the BAS has all the gear!
Note: BAS events are free to all.
