TIPPECANOE – The Warsaw Astronomical Society will conduct its first public observing night of the year hosted by Potawatomi Wildlife Park Saturday one hour after dark at the park observing field.
Observing is pending clear skies. Call ahead if partly cloudy.
Plan to attend and discover the universe for yourself. Society members will be in attendance to share the night sky through telescopes of all sizes. Objects will include various constellations, and an array of other near and deep sky objects.
Questions may be directed to the Potawatomi Wildlife Park director at 574-498-6550 or [email protected].
Potawatomi Wildlife Park is a free-admission 317-acre park along the Tippecanoe River south of Bourbon. It is in Marshall County, just over the Kosciusko County border.
Coming from the north, the park entrance is located approximately a half mile south of Ind. 10 directly across from 17th Road. Coming from the south, the entrance is approximately a half mile north of the Tippecanoe Bridge on Ind. 331.
Recognized as Indiana's first official dark-sky preserve, the property is a favorite site for local and regional amateur astronomers, according to a news release from the park. It is open daily from sunrise to sunset for the public to walk the trails and observe or study wildlife or learn about the historic features the park preserves.
