Presentations Offered This Year:

Montana's dry climate and dark skies make it a great place to explore the night sky, even without binoculars or a telescope. Learn how to find your way around with star charts and constellations. See the objects Galileo saw and compare with close-up images take from space probes to gain a greater appreciation for Earth's place in the Universe.
Astronomers from Galileo to Einstein have used their eyes and ever improving telescopes to learn about the Universe. Today a new window is opening on our understanding of space. New gravitational wave detectors will catch ripples from distant stars and galaxies. Telescopes have been used to build a silent picture of the Universe, and catching gravitational waves will be like turning on the sound to listen to the Universe.
