UF’s Starry Night could give Vincent van Gogh a run for his money.
UF is hosting its yearly astronomy program, Starry Night, at the Florida Museum of Natural History on Friday at 6 p.m.
The one-night event will allow guests to explore the universe through multiple telescopes.
“It’s definitely fun for the whole family,” said Paul Ramey, assistant director for marketing and public relations for the Florida Museum of Natural History.
This is the sixth year for the program.
Jen Black is excited to go see the stars again.
“I’ve been to something like this before, and it was really cool. It was when I was younger, but I think when you enjoy something educational like that when you’re young, it’s cool when you’re older, too,” said Black, a 22-year-old UF criminology and psychology senior.
There will be speeches by leaders in the fields and a display of space art.
“This is definitely an opportunity to speak with professionals in the field and interact with equipment they otherwise wouldn’t have a chance,” Harvey said.
