International Dark Sky Week is an annual event aimed at celebrating the beauty of a natural night and raising awareness about light pollution and its side effects.
Started by high school student Jennifer Barlow in 2003, Dark Sky Week is now observed worldwide during the week of the new moon in April, which is the time when the night sky is at its darkest. This year, Dark Sky Week will begin on April 2 to end on the day of Great North American Total Solar Eclipse on Monday, April 8.
Join us to enjoy the beauty of the night sky! From gazing at stars through telescopes, listening to captivating starry tales and much more, you don't want to miss out on all our stellar events. Weather permitting. All ages.
Join us for a solar eclipse viewing party! Safely watch as the moon glides in front of the sun, casting a shadow on the Earth. After the viewing, participants can complete a fun craft to take home. Solar eclipse viewing glasses provided while supplies last. Weather permitting. All ages.
Monday, April 8, 1:30 - 3:30 p.m.
