Starry Skies North is a registered 501c3 nonprofit, had a booth at the Minnesota state fair, and attends several other events and opportunities throughout the year that anyone can help to support. Whether you can offer one hour per month or continual support, get connected with Starry Skies North and let us together tackle the issue of Light Pollution!

Public Stargazing Parties

What’s more fun than looking up? Whether attending a Minnesota Astronomical Society party or at an event around the metro, we love to share our knowledge of the stars and constellations with the public. Opportunities include speaking engagements, setup/take-down, telescope viewing, hike leaders, and more.  If you are interested in Star Pary, shoot us an email: info@starryskiesnorth.org.

Dark Sky PLAce Designation

We work directly with Nature Centers, preserved habitats, estuaries, State and National Parks, Forest service, local leaders, landlords, business owners, schools, and others to bring programming and resources to our communities - aiding our mission and supporting the designation of ‘Dark Sky Sanctuaries’ around the region. More information →

Chapter incubator project

Many IDA and Starry Skies North members are hundreds of miles from their nearest Chapter or Delegate, leaving them isolated and unable to undertake major outreach and advocacy projects. So we launched a chapter incubator program to build up the region. Read the release →
