The Cosmic Zoo: Astronomy Presentation

November 9 @ 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm

The Cosmic Zoo: Astronomy Presentation with Jim Hahn

The universe is populated by many strange objects: Quasars, pulsars, supernovas, black holes, white dwarfs and a host of other species can all be found in the cosmic zoo. What are they, how do they form, and how do we know about them? Jim Hahn will give us the info on these strange and fascinating objects. After an indoor presentation, we will view the sky outdoors through telescopes or indoors on the screen, depending on the weather.

Jim Hahn is a lifelong amateur astronomer who learned the constellations at eight years old and built a telescope at fifteen. When the sky is not dark and clear, he writes software, rides his bike, and sings in two choirs. Jim is an active member of the Northern Cross Science Foundation, a local astronomy club dedicated to public outreach, and stays current in astronomy by reading books, magazines, and websites on the topic.

All ages welcome. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
Member: $5 | Non-member: 10

Free Family Nature Club at Tendick Nature Park in Saukville

Family Nature Club is a free offering to our community designed for kids and their families. We facilitate outdoor, environmental-education based experiences for families to enjoy together.

This Family Nature Club will meet at Tendick Nature Park in Saukville (address below).

Ozaukee County’s “Tendick Nature Park” is a special gift that is becoming a memorable part of our lives for generations to come. Donald Tendick donated 122 acres of woods and farmland to the County in March of 1999. Mr. Tendick passed away on May 11, 2000. Through continued work with his family and the community, his wish that this land become a park for all to enjoy is coming true.

All ages are welcome! Children must be accompanied by an adult 18+.
This program is free to attend, but donations are greatly appreciated!
Pre-registration required by November 16 at 11:59 pm.
