Fun! ✨Today at 7:20 pm, the sun will set over White Sands National Park in New Mexico. The planetary shift to darkness will unveil stars, planets, and other extraordinary objects in our night sky! Our challenge for you (and your friends!) is to find as many of these objects in your night sky as you can!
How to play Bingo… After Dark!
1. Print your bingo card.
2. Go outside and look up! Easy right?
3. Find the items on the Bingo card and circle them as you go.
4. Share with your friends to see if they can find as many as you did!
Objects towards the top of the grid are easier to find. When you get closer to the bottom, they will be more of a challenge to see. This is where binoculars might be helpful! Do you live in a city? You will probably notice more sky glow than someone who lives in a rural area. Look around your house to see if there are any lights that can be turned off to make your view of the night sky more clear.
HINT: This weekend you can find the crescent moon setting just one hour after sunset!
(The ideal location for this game is in the northern hemisphere, after sunset on a clear night. Take your time, you’ve got this! The sky's the limit.)
