This summer, MLC will host a public stargazing series at the MLC Campus along the banks of Canyon Ferry Lake.MLC will open its observatories to the public at sunset. The evening will start with a presentation from one of MLC’s astronomy experts, after which you’ll have the opportunity to use your newfound knowledge to better appreciate the night skies as we gaze through one of MLC’s state-of-the art telescopes.Ryan Hannahoe is the Executive Director of MLC and the driving force behind the creation of the Mike &amp; Lynn Rice Astronomical Park for the Sciences and the Arts on MLC’s campus. Ryan has been active in astronomy since early childhood.

Throughout college, Ryan worked at the New Mexico Skies Remote Observatories. He also worked as an intern for NASA on the James Webb Space Telescope, the recently launched successor to the Hubble Space Telescope. Ryan spent 7 years teaching science in public schools before becoming MLC’s full-time Executive Director. He now spends his time leading MLC’s programs, which include summer science camps for kids, science teacher training, MLC’s astronomy program and NASA-funded programs for Montana middle and high school students. His astronomical photography has been featured in NASA’s Astronomy Picture of the Day, the Smithsonian, and Astronomy Magazine.For more information, visit: <a href="https://montanalearning.org/beyond-the-big-sky/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Beyond the Big Sky</a>
