By NPT Staff - January 16th, 2017

Devils Tower National Monument in Wyoming contains some of the purest night skies in the Black Hills. To celebrate and share the beauty of night skies, a series of star presentations are scheduled in January and February.

January 19 – Native Americans and the Night Sky: Explore the connection between the Native Americans, the night sky, and Devils Tower. Meet at the visitor center at 7 p.m.

February 10 – A Lunar Eclipse and Comet45P: A rare event at Devils Tower! A penumbral lunar eclipse in the evening and Comet45P passing over Devils Tower in the morning skies. Meet at the visitor center at 5:30 p.m.

February 26 – New Moon and the Deep Sky: A new moon is the darkest night of the month, which allows for amazing star viewing, and views of deep sky features in Orion. Meet at the visitor center at 7 p.m. Telescopes will be provided for viewing deep sky objects, though you may bring your own.

All programs are free of charge and may be canceled due to inclement weather. Check out the park website or Facebook page for up-to-date information, or call the visitor center at 307-467-5283 ext. 635.
