Last night after checking out the Dark Sky Caravan I went to a favorite spot on the Lake Superior shoreline to take in the view of the Milky Way. The University of Minnesota Duluth brought their GeoDome Mobile Planetarium to the Grand Portage Community Center and gave a super interesting presentation. The presentation was followed by some time gazing at the stars, moon and planets through telescopes. It was a super fun evening.
Spending some time on the shoreline taking in the view over the big lake and some islands was a perfect way to end the fun. In the photo the large, bright planet that you see reflecting in the lake over the right side of the island is Mars. The light that you see illuminating myself and some of the foreground rocks is coming from a yard light on the opposite side of the bay behind me.
