Astronomy buffs can meet Steve Russell and peek through his telescope at the night sky August 13 at 8 p.m. at Mississinewa Lake Reservoir.

"We’re looking forward to observing the moon phase and deep space objects such as ring nebulas and planets," said interpretive naturalist Marvin McNew.

This event is located near the beach shelter house at the Miami Recreation Area, Mississinewa Reservoir.

The astronomy presentation is free of charge, except for the usual $4-per-vehicle gate fee ($5 for out-of-state vehicles).
