We had SO much fun tonight, with over 35 guests attending! Such great conversation, artwork, and laughs, all around. Will post pics this weekend, but for now, we're gearing up for more fun as @stcloudstate.bsky.social Family Day is tomorrow! 😀👍
Know where it's NOT raining tonight? In the SCSU Planetarium, in the Wick Science Building's basement at @stcloudstate.bsky.social! Come join us for our Statewide Star Party; the fun starts at 6:30 PM. 🤩👍

Hope to see you under the stars as we learn all about this year's theme, AURORAS!

As a heads-up, there's a chance for aurorae tonight...Cloudy skies may prevent us from viewing them, however. 😞

That said, you can always find out "what's up" with aurorae and aurorae forecasts by visiting the NOAA/NWS Space Weather Prediction Center: www.swpc.noaa.gov/communities/...
