Dear UWM Planetarium friends,
The more we rehearse a program, the more I think we up our game. I notice this effect particularly with “Creepy Cosmos,” a student-led production. Each year the student presenters change what they say and how they present it depending on their own particular interests. When the rehearsals started in earnest in September, I was a bit worried. But now the students have a great flow and rapport. It is a delight to see.
Speaking of delights, a friend of mine thought it was time to correct the fact that I have never been to Door County despite having lived in Milwaukee for more than 25 years. Not only did we get to see beautiful sugar maples in that glorious red color that makes my heart sing, but we went to Newport State Park, an officially designated International Dark Sky Park, which allowed us to see the Milky Way clearly and the Andromeda Galaxy with the naked eye.
I look forward to seeing you under the stars,
Jean
