Stargazing at
Shawnee Prairie
Under the light of a slender waxing crescent moon on Saturday, April
9th at 8pm, join Darke County Parks as they welcome back the Stillwater
Stargazers to Shawnee Prairie Preserve. Jupiter will be high for
optimal viewing, and the Big Dipper will also be well positioned to
observe. Participants will meet in the parking lot at the Nature Center
for this free program. Please enter the parking lot slowly with parking
lights only. If the sky is cloudy, please call the Nature Center by 4pm
to confirm the program is still occurring. Bring binoculars if you have
them, and there will be a telescope for deep sky viewing. For any
questions about this or any other Park District programs, please call
the Nature Center at (937) 548-0165.
Photo- Ancient Roman astronomers named Jupiter after their god of the
sky and lightening, known as the king of the gods.
