Expert sky watchers from the Indiana Astronomical Society will partner with McCloud Nature Parks naturalists May 31 for an astronomy program best suited for amateur astronomers ages 8 and older. <\/p>\n
The free event, which is open to the community, will begin at 8:30 p.m. with a brief indoor seminar designed to help beginners find their way around the night sky by learning how a telescope works and how to recognize constellations, planets, galaxies and nebulae. <\/p>\n
Outdoor night sky viewing will begin at 9 p.m. through binoculars and telescopes provided, or attendees can bring their own. <\/p>\n
The indoor seminar will take place rain or shine, but the sky viewing is dependent upon clear skies. <\/p>\n
McCloud Nature Park is operated by Hendricks County Parks and Recreation and is five minutes south of North Salem at 8518 Hughes Road. <\/p>\n
Admission is always free and the park is open from dawn to dusk daily. <\/p>\n
