Summer skies full of wonder outdoors and inside UWM Manfred Olsen Planetarium

You’ll want to keep your eyes on the skies these next few months. For example, on Sunday at sunset sky-watchers should look for the thin, waxing crescent moon to appear in a stunningly close encounter with the planet Venus low in the southwestern sky. From 2 to 3 p.m. on Sunday you can enjoy indoor stargazing at an Exoplanets and Ice Cream event on the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee campus. The event will also be held on Friday nights. 

On CBS 58 Sunday Morning, Emily Thornton joined director Jean Creighton of the Manfred Olsen Planetarium for a chat on the summer skies.
