Join us for a chance to see a number of beautiful celestial objects including the Ring Nebula, the Hercules Star Cluster, a Waxing Gibbous Moon, and the planet Jupiter. The date also marks the start of the Lyrid Meteor Shower, so you may catch a shooting star or two.
UNL instructors and members of the Society of Physics Students will be on hand between viewings with amazing science demonstrations and lectures.
