Jupiter
Skygazing at Shawnee Prairie
Under the light of a near full moon on Saturday, May 6th at 8:30pm,
join Darke County Parks as they welcome back the Stillwater Stargazers
to Shawnee Prairie Preserve. Jupiter and four of its moons will be high
for optimal viewing through the provided telescopes. Participants will
spend some time discussing the coming total solar eclipse to occur this
August as well! 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. For any
questions about this or any other Park District programs, please call
the Nature Center at (937) 548-0165.
Ancient Roman astronomers named Jupiter after their god of the sky and
lightening, known as the king of the gods.
