It's a Star Party! Join us this Sunday, February 22nd for a short lecture and a planetarium show. If it's clear, members of the Barnard Astronomical Society will have telescopes in the parking lot behind Brainerd United Methodist Church. Doors open at 5:30, and programs start at 6:00. Those present at 6:00 or earlier will have priority seats in the lecture and planetarium. Building capacity is limited and when capacity is exceeded, we will allow people in as people leave. Easier access to the observatory is to park behind the Brainerd United Methodist Church.

Lecture Topic: Where Have the Fireflies Gone? Artificial Light’s Impact on Biodiversity

Presented by: Tommy McElrath, Adjunct Faculty at Covenant College
