Universe in the Park (Night Skies)

Did you know that Sandhill Wildlife Area has one of the darkest night skies in the state of Wisconsin? To witness an extraordinary view of space, join UW-Madison astronomers as they present our “Universe in the Park”. The astronomers will briefly present information and observations about the night sky, the moon, and other celestial objects. After that, you are invited to attend the star party where you will get a chance to view objects in the sky through telescopes and chat with expert astronomers. Meet in the Sandhill Outdoor Skills Center. Preregistration is required before May 24th along with a $5 registration fee per person.
