  • Cancellation for Green Lake Park Public Star Party

    Event on 2018-04-21 almost 6 years ago

    This Green Lake Park Public Star Party (outreach event) scheduled for Apr 21, 2018, 08:00 PM is canceled due to inclement weather, a currently very cloudy sky.  Both the Clear Sky Chart and National Weather Service forecasts predict a cloudy sky tonight until early Sunday morning, so observing will not be possible.  But don't forget the Lyrid Meteor Shower which peaks this weekend; and because  some stray meteors are often visible before and after the peak time, limited meteor viewing may be possible on Sunday night when a clear sky is predicted.
