While the pandemic has put so many things on hold, the earth continues to make its journey around the sun. On the Winter Solstice (Monday, December 21), look for the sun to set in the “blade” of Frances Whitehead’s sculpture at the Exelon Observatory on the western end of The 606. @exelonofficial @trustforpublicland

We can't ride or stroll on the Bloomingdale Trail

We can't ride or stroll on the Bloomingdale Trail right now. But we know it is closed with good reason. We all have to do our part to spread out and flatten the curve and that was hard to do on the relatively narrow Bloomingdale Trail.

While we're stuck (mostly) inside the Friends of the Bloomingdale Trail have come up with something to do. An activity for all ages. We're asking you to create your own section of trail (call is social distancing). We'll be collecting all your visions and putting them together into one ENDLESS BLOOMINGDALE TRAIL.
1.Find an 8 1/2" X 11" piece of paper.
2.Turn it horizontally ("landscape view").
3.Draw a line 3 inches from the bottom. This line represents the Bloomingdale Trail.
4.Draw ANYTHING you like, real or imagined, on AND below the line/trail.
5.When finished, scan or photograph your drawing.
Post it the Bloomingdale Trail Facebook Group, and
Send it to info@bloomingdaletrail.org
6.Check back soon. We'll be stitching the drawings together into the "Endless Bloomingdale Trail" visit the Friends of the Bloomingdale Trail for more information about this activity. .

Back by popular demand! For The Love of Stars returns. Please check our website for an updated monthly schedule of the individual sessions. Join us at the Exelon Observatory at the western head of the Bloomingdale Trail (1800 N. Ridgeway), on the First Friday of each month for a night of
Celestial viewing with our Resident Astronomer, Joe Guzman. @chicagoastronomer
First up, March 6th, 6:30-9pm. To start our Astronomical season in March, we will share a 3/4 Moon riding high and displaying great telescopic views of Lunar Mountains, valleys and craters. Incredibly bright Venus hangs in the west, along with the planet Uranus and the Constellation Orion with the Red Giant Variable Star "Betelgeuse" is prominent in the South. (Betelgeuse is currently in the news, undergoing drastic changes that may lead to an event...or not.) NOTE: In case of inclement weather, this event will be rescheduled for Friday, the 13th of March - 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm
