Morton Mandan Public LibraryLights Out - Stars Out
Lights Out - Stars Out brings stargazers together at Fort Abraham Lincoln State Park’s Cavalry Square and Parade Ground for a guided look at the night sky. Visitors can settle in early to find a good vantage point and watch the sky shift from dusk to darkness. A partial lunar eclipse will be visible with peak obscuration near 94 percent. During this celestial event, Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow that can appear reddish orange, often called a Blood Moon. Park staff and members of the Bismarck Astronomy Club will help participants use telescopes, spot constellations, identify planets, and examine lunar craters. Telescopes and binoculars are available, and personal equipment is welcome. Red-light flashlights are recommended to preserve night vision, and regular flashlights should be kept on a low beam. All ages are welcome. Restrooms are available in the Commissary building adjacent to the parade ground. Admission is free with a North Dakota State Parks Annual Pass, or available with a per-vehicle fee at the park entrance. Annual passes can be purchased at the park or online. The schedule is subject to change.
