CITY LIGHTS AND STARRY NIGHTS
Date: Wednesday, May 16, 2018
Time: 9:30 PM – 11:00 PM
Location: Jacob Hamblin Park, near the parking lot at the north end of Main Street, Kanab.
Description: Glowing, growing cities and towns across the world have diminished the treasures of the sky. Kanab, however, is a haven for the heavens! Who doesn’t relish the wonder of a deep star-filled sky? Bring the whole family to find out how to balance the primal experience of starry nights with the need for public safety and city lights! Witness the startling beauty of the sky after the City Park goes dark!
A short multimedia presentation will showcase the rewards of preserving the natural night. Then get a close-up look at the gems of the southern Utah spring sky. Gaze at wispy nebula, star clusters, galaxies and the planet Jupiter through an astronomical quality telescope to appreciate the scale and wonder of our galaxy and better understand how to preserve your view of the stars.
