District Notices
SCIENCE

Marathon, Texas, enjoys Class 1 Dark Skies - the darkest possible on earth. This allows us to observe the night sky at a level of detail and clarity rarely possible from within a community.
The astro-photography image above was aquired by Frederick Steiling on February 6-11, 2016 at the Marathon Sky Park, and shows M81 and M82 - a pair of galaxies in the constellation Ursa Major.
