SUMMARY:Space Night!
DESCRIPTION:Space Night 2026!\nWe're shooting for the stars - and you're invited! Join New Pioneers at our fifth annual Space Night on Friday\, July 31st\, from 8-11:00 pm at the Rotary Park at the Reservoir in Springfield\, Ky. \nThis program will include interactive learning stations for the whole family\, "astronaut-approved" snacks\, and a telescope viewing of the night sky\, including the Perseid Meteor Shower. You don't want to miss out on this unique night that's light-years ahead in fun! \nBut wait... there's more! New Pioneers is excited to partner with Dark Sky Kentucky this year to bring a fresh\, exciting line-up of education and activities about protecting our night sky from light pollution\, which disrupts the migration patterns of local birds\, the critical feeding and breeding cycles of nocturnal insects\, and even the quality of our own sleep! \nWe'll gather at the pavilion of the Rotary Park (On Booker Rd\, just off HWY 55). Please bring a lawn chair\, if desired\, to enjoy the stargazing. Children must be accompanied by an adult for this program. \nWe hope you and your space crew will join us there! \n \nThe Rotary Park at the Reservoir is located at 1549 Booker Road\, Springfield\, KY. (From Springfield\, travel towards Lebanon on HWY 55\, take a right on Booker Road. About 1 mile on the right)
