SUMMARY:POSTPONED: Spring Star Party
DESCRIPTION:***DUE TO WEATHER\, THIS EVENT IS POSTPONED TO MAY 7th***\n\n\n\nThe semiannual night sky viewing party has returned to Pipestone National Monument. Visit the park on Saturday\, April 30\, from 8:30 p.m.   9:30 p.m. for an evening of stargazing and learning. \n\n\n\nDr. Nathan Grau (Augustana University) and Dr. Judy Vondruska (South Dakota State University) will set up telescopes in front of the Visitor Center to show visitors the night sky up close and answer astronomical questions.
