SUMMARY:Spring Star Party
DESCRIPTION:The semiannual night sky viewing party has returned to Pipestone National Monument. Visit the park on Saturday\, May 7\, 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. The event falls on a New Moon\, making distant galaxies and globular clusters more visible. You may even see our solar system's smallest planet   Mercury! \n\n\n\nThis is a relaxed event - bring a lawn chair or blanket and see your park after dark with the whole family! Kids will have an opportunity to complete the Night Sky Junior Ranger Program and earn an activity-related patch.  \n\n\n\nThe event is free and open to the public. Free hot cocoa\, cider\, and star snacks will be available while supplies last. Visitors are not required to stay for the duration of the event. \n\n\n\nNighttime views and environments are among the critical park features the National Park Service protects.
