Tonight should be a good time to try & spot Mercury in the evening sky as it will appear to be at its farthest distance from the Sun. It will officially set at 5:51pm. You will have about one hour to catch Mercury in the Western sky, near the horizon.

We expect the sun to have another active solar cycle in 2025. What does that mean? More opportunities to view the beautiful Northern Lights! Join us today for "Aurora: Lights of Wonder!" We are able to present it because of the generosity of a local family's donation!
We will continue to keep you posted through social media this week. The weather doesn't look great right now for any of the potential days.
NEXT WEEK, weather permitting, our area can potentially view a Lunar Eclipse!
The lunar eclipse begins at 10:57pm on March 14th, maximum occurs at 1:26am on March 15th, and the eclipse ends at approximately 3:47am.
Mark your calendars and check it out if you can!
FYI! 2024 Annual FRIENDS memberships expire in about two weeks! We hope you will renew for another year of exploration and fun. And, consider sharing this opportunity with your space-loving family & friends!

Happy March, everyone!
A new month means two new Saturday shows! Here's our schedule for today:
11:00am: DinoSoars! Change Over Time
1:00pm: Seeing: A Photon's Journey Across Space, Time & Mind
Hope to see you soon!
In case you didn't know, the moon reaches the new moon phase tonight! Therefore, if the weather cooperates, it would be an ideal night for stargazing!
You don't NEED to use anything fancy to see some cool stuff, just your eyes, a sky map/star finder, and some patience!
Did you know there will be a Lunar Eclipse in just a few weeks?! A total lunar eclipse will be visible from the entire continental US the evening of March 13th. It will start at approximately 11pm our time & will run until 5am on Friday. The maximum eclipse is at about 1:58am!
