Night Sky Jupiter & Moon Viewing
Take advantage of the Ozarks’ dark skies to view Jupiter and the Moon! Rangers will provide astronomical interpretation and equipment during the viewing.
Ozark National Scenic Riverways offers great viewing, as we have minimal light pollution and a quiet atmosphere. Visitors can enjoy the night sky without distraction.
The park will provides binoculars and a few telescopes for use. Bring bug spray, chairs or blankets, and flashlights. Bringing personal telescopes and binoculars is also encouraged.
Fees
This event is free and open to the public.
