Tour the universe locally

People will gather in the dark on Friday night, Aug. 2, to learn about stars.

The Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area will host an astronomy program at Spring Canyon starting at 9:30 p.m. at the upper boat launch parking lot.

You can explore the stars, planets and the Milky Way Galaxy, take a tour of the constellations, and just look through telescopes.

It’s all subject to weather and smoke conditions, of course.

People are encouraged to use red flashlights if possible (easier on the eyes).
