From Space to the Beach, Rock Found in Michigan with Kevin Dehne

Discover the fascinating connection between space and the shores of the Great Lakes! Learn what makes a meteorite right—and what makes a meteorite wrong—as we explore the origins of meteorites and their journey to Earth.

We'll also dive into the unique rocks found along Michigan’s beaches, from the fossilized beauty of Petoskey stones to the glowing magic of Yooperlites. Uncover the stories these stones tell, where they come from, and the best tips for finding these treasures along the lakeshore.

Stay after the initial program where Kevin Dehne will provide a tour of the night sky where he will elaborate on visible stars, constellations, and stories of their myths and legends.
