MN Starwatch with Mike Lynch

Join WCCO Radio Meteorologist Mike Lynch to watch the great celestial show in the skies over Carpenter Nature Center. This night with the stars, constellations, planets, star clusters, galaxies, and nebulae starts off with an indoor orientation followed by quality time outside. Get to know the constellations like The Big Bear, Cassiopeia, Orion and his gang, and some of the great stories behind them. We’ll also use large reflecting telescopes for close up views of the planets, as well as getting close and personal with star clusters, nebulae, galaxies and other wonders in our early spring skies. You’ll get a great handout and package with user-friendly star maps and constellation charts maps, websites, a telescope-buying guide, and more! Dress appropriately for the weather and bring a lawn chair to make yourself comfy.  Recommended for ages 8 and up
