Harrison Bay Star Party- Saturday April 8th

April 8, 2023 @ 8:00 pm11:00 pm

Join us Saturday, April 8th for a public Star Party Season at Harrison Bay State Park.  This Monthly Star Party is held on the second Saturday of every month, weather permitting.  Entrance to the park is free.   The Park is very kind to let us use this beautiful space with dark skies to see the wonders of the universe so please be respectful of all rules and regulations.

Event begins at 8pm.  If you have trouble seeing at night, please feel free to bring a flashlight but please keep it pointed to the ground and turn it off when not walking.  EVEN BETTER, bring a red light as red light does not hinder night vision as much.  Preserving night vision is a tricky endeavor, but worthwhile to truly see the night sky.  For more information on preserving night vision read here: https://www.nps.gov/articles/dark-adaptation-of-the-human-eye-and-the-value-of-red-flashlights.htm

The Star Party is located here: 35.173272653212024, -85.12413526195768
