It’s Space Week and we can’t wait to celebrate! We’ve come up with some of Cape Girardeau’s best spots for viewing the night sky. Don’t forget to bring your telescope, friends, and a warm blanket!
River Campus is another spot on the Mississippi River that would be perfect for watching the night sky. You may not have as good of luck actually seeing the stars from this spot, but it’s still a beautiful location! Bring a blanket and some friends, lay out on the grass and enjoy the view!
If you’re wanting to lay on the grass and watch the stars but you’re not really an outdoors/nature person, the IM fields is the perfect spot for you! You can bring a blanket and lay on the turf and watch the beautiful night sky this Space Week! The IM fields are also the closest spot to the main campus for watching the night sky.
If you’re wanting a little adventure to go with your stargazing, I would recommend checking out the country roads on the Illinois side of the river. These would be the perfect spot for viewing the night sky while also finding new places to explore!
