Astronomy in Glacier

Description

To celebrate our certification as an International Dark Sky Park from the International Dark Sky Association, we went to talk to Glacier’s lead astronomy educator and east side interpreter, Lee Rademaker. Lee has been instrumental in bringing astronomy programs to park visitors, both in-person and online. We went over to the Dusty Star Observatory in St. Mary to learn about how the observatory works, why dark skies are important, and how we can stay connected to Glacier’s night skies from near and far.
