Special Program: Universe in the Park and Perseid Meteor Shower

Join guest astronomers from UW-Madison as they present Badger Talks, a PowerPoint presentation about astronomy and a chance to view the night skies through a high-powered telescope. Newport State Park in Ellison Bay is the best place to view this spectacular meteor shower as it is Wisconsin’s only designated International Dark Sky Park. Some seating is available, but feel free to bring a lawn chair or blanket, and flashlights or headlamps with a red lens (protects night vision). Meet at Lot 3, follow path to shelter building.
