Virtual Spring Stargazing program scheduled

Date: 
Wednesday, May 19, 2021 - 7:00pm

The weather is warming up and more people are getting outside. So, now is a wonderful time to learn about what you can see in the spring nighttime sky. Since clear skies can be so unpredictable, and since the Virtual Winter Stargazing program was so successful, the Winnebago County Conservation Board has decided to hold their annual Spring Stargazing program indoors and online, as well.
The Virtual Spring Stargazing program will be held over Zoom, Wednesday evening, May 19, beginning at 7 p.m., and lasting about 45-60 minutes. Using an online interactive star chart (which people will be able to continue to use afterwards) and various illustrations, Winnebago County Naturalist Lisa Ralls will discuss the brighter stars and constellations that are visible this time of year.
All participants will be emailed a star chart so they can follow along and, since this will be a live Zoom event, people will also be able to ask questions. After the program, participants can then venture outside whenever they want, using information from the program to enjoy the nighttime sky.
To register for the WCCB’s free Virtual Spring Stargazing program, contact Lisa Ralls at lralls@winnebagoccb.com to receive a star chart and the program’s Zoom link. You can also contact Ralls at 641-565-3390 for more information about the program.
