Big Cypress National Preserve Astronomy Program

Event Description:
Come to Big Cypress National Preserve for an evening of dark sky education and celebration! View one of the darkest night skies in the eastern United States as you listen to a 45 minute ranger-talk under the stars. Then, stay to visit with local amateur astronomers and take a look through their telescopes at objects in the night sky. This event is free and open to public. No reservations are needed. The ranger program begins at 7pm, but we ask that you try and arrive around 6:30 pm to park and get set up. There is no seating, so bring chairs or blankets to sit in the grass during the program. Bring a red-light flashlight or headlamp for walking to the program area in the dark. Bring mosquito repellent and wear long sleeves and pants. Be prepared for all weather conditions and check the forecast before heading out. Also be aware that speed limits are lower at night along Tamiami Trail, which will increase your travel time. In the case of inclement weather or cloud cover, rangers will conduct a powerpoint presentation in the auditorium.
Directions:
The ranger program will be conducted at the southern end of Seagrape Drive, which is located at the Big Cypress Swamp Welcome Center along US 41, east of State Road 29 between mile markers 73 and 74. You will be asked to dim your headlights as you turn into the Welcome Center to allow guests' eyes to adjust to the darkness.
