Learning in Retirement: Catching the Northern Lights
Thursday, November 12 at Nicolet College, Minocqua
About this event
Catching the Northern Lights is a Learning in Retirement class at Nicolet College in Rhinelander. Heidi Evers, a northern lights enthusiast, explains when aurora displays may occur and how to watch them from northern Wisconsin. The wooded Rhinelander campus sits on the shore of Lake Julia, a short drive from Minocqua.
Who's playing
Heidi Evers leads the session as its instructor and is known to local learners as a northern lights enthusiast. Her focus is practical: how to tell when a display might happen, and where and how to look for it from the Northwoods. The talk is aimed at anyone who has stepped outside hoping to see the sky light up.
What to expect
Learning in Retirement sessions are short and informal, with no grades, no tests and no required attendance. This one is a talk on timing and viewing tips rather than a hands-on outing. It meets in the Northwoods Center, a classroom building on the wooded south side of the Nicolet campus loop.
Why go
Aurora watching in northern Wisconsin depends on timing and conditions, and a good local primer saves a lot of guesswork. The class suits anyone who wants to make their night-sky watching more deliberate. The campus setting, with its trails and lake views, makes for a calm place to learn about it.
