In case you haven't heard, from now until April 18, early risers anywhere in the world will get to see an unusual cluster of three planets: Mercury, Venus, & Saturn. Please note: We know that Neptune is labeled in the picture. However, you cannot see Neptune with just you eyes.
Here's our schedule for the week. If you can, we'd love for you to join us for a show!

Tomorrow night is April's full moon! It is most commonly known as the Pink Moon. Northern Native Americans gave it that name. But this full moon may also be known as the Sprouting Grass Moon, Growing Moon, Egg Moon or Fish Moon. Which 1 do you prefer?
Calling all early birds!
If you want to catch the view of a planet this month...Venus is easier to spot due to its brilliance, particularly if you have a clear eastern horizon. Look for it about 30 minutes before sunrise for best viewing!

As a nod to the one year anniversary of the solar eclipse yesterday, let's check out the show that was a favorite during eclipse season in 2025. Join us at 11am for ""Totality: Explore the Wonder of Eclipses."" It's a great show with terrific information!

Do you remember where you were one year ago today?!
It was the Great American Solar Eclipse! We had a beautiful day for viewing in Wisconsin and lots of people gathered here at the planetarium to celebrate. If you took any pictures, share them in the comments!
Don't forget to mark your calendars for the next Total Solar Eclipse in Wisconsin...it will be on September 14th, 2099! 🤯

Another sign that warmer weather *should* be around the corner....the summer triangle has returned! If you are awake around 2am, you may be able to catch a peek in the E! As we head towards summer, it will be visible earlier in the evening!
