Michigan is surprisingly rich with observatories, planetariums, and dark sky parks, the nicest, of course, being the Headlands. This talk is a purview of many of these publicly accessible gems found in every corner of Michigan, and a short description of the total solar eclipse of April 2024 will be given. It’s never too early to start planning! A fine desktop reflector telescope is to be given away to one lucky young person as well.
