Spend a night outside looking up at the stars at Split Rock Lighthouse.
Tuesday, August 12 is Dark Sky Night at Split Rock Lighthouse in Two Harbors. This FREE event is a perfect opportunity to look at the stars above Split Rock Lighthouse!
The event takes place from 8 – 10 pm, run by the University of Minnesota Duluth’s Marshall W. Alworth Planetarium staff.
The night will start off with a presentation by John Gregor, owner of Coldsnap Photography, who will share his approach to night sky photography, covering the Milky Way and Aurora.
After the presentation, enjoy looking at the stars through telescopes and live tours of the night sky. Also, John will be on hand to give hands-on demonstrations on how to photograph the night sky.
If it’s cloudy, they will still have fun activities and digital sky tours so you can learn what to look for when it clears up. Be sure to pack bug spray and a headlamp, and dress appropriately for the weather.
