Boreal Stargazing Week: “Painting the Universe"

Thursday, February 12th from 6p - 7:30p

event info

Explore the colors of the night sky as we investigate the magnificent variance in the hues of stars, nebulas, and other celestial objects! Attendees will gaze into the colors of the universe within the planetarium, followed by a night hike (snowshoes provided!) in the neighboring Bagley Nature Area.

This program is part of Boreal Stargazing Week. Students and community members can enjoy snowshoeing and skiing outings, telescope sessions, live conversations with astronomers, and hands-on activities that explore the connections between art, astronomy, and our protected night skies. With both virtual and in-person programs, there are countless ways to experience the Northwoods after dark and learn why Minnesota is home to one of the world’s largest International Dark Sky Sanctuaries.

No admission fee, FREE show! Seats are first-come and may fill up fast!
Doors open 30 minutes before showtime.
There is no food or drinks allowed in the planetarium.
