Today, learn more about gravitationally lensed supernova Refsdal. A galaxy cluster’s massive gravitational field amplifies the light from a supernova, coming from behind it!

⛈ Sorry for the bad news, y'all! Hard to believe it on a decent morning, but the weather experts told us it was a 'no brainer' to cancel the show. Ticket and pass holders were directly contacted by email. Contact us if you need help with ticketing or whatnot.

These red-eyed marvels were laid as eggs in 2011 and have been living underground, waiting to emerge and sing their hearts out.
Be kind to our little friends. They are harmless and deserve some time in the sun.

💥 UPDATED 8:30 PM
Aurora forecast MAY 11-12, 2024
Tonight's map shows a northern shift compared to last night, so Tennessee's shot of seeing the show has diminished. But, like last night, there are no certainties. By nature, each aurora flexes and flows at will.
Good luck!
