Bays Mountain Park unveils new astronomy exhibit
KINGSPORT — Bays Mountain Park and Planetarium has officially unveiled a brand-new exhibit inside the Nature Center – an exhibit that invites visitors to look up and discover how our world connects to the cosmos. The exhibit is located on the main floor of the Nature Center and begins with our cultural connections to the sky. Visitors can explore how cultures around the world interpret the stars of the Orion constellation, along with a wonderfully illustrated sacred Cherokee sky story about the origin of the Pleiades. From ancient lore, the exhibition transitions into modern science, tracing how human curiosity transformed celestial mysteries into a deeper understanding of our Solar System and the Universe beyond. Visitors can explore the information-packed spinners along the Solar System wall and see how the faint band of light in the night sky called the Milky Way was revealed to be an immense galaxy containing billions of stars. The exhibit concludes with practical inspiration, showcasing the celestial wonders that can be discovered right from your own backyard using simple binoculars or telescopes. Finally, it shines a light on environmental conservation, teaching visitors how light pollution impacts both wildlife ecosystems and our ability to witness the beauty

It was the 56th straight postseason victory for Alcoa (11-0), which improved to 146-15 in the playoffs. The Tornadoes haven’t lost a first-round playoff game since 1996. It was the third straight playoff appearance for Cherokee, which ends its season at 6-5. “I’m proud of our guys. We didn’t back down. We did it with the right mentality. I thought our offense and defense got after it as best they could,” said Cherokee coach Josh Hensley. “I was proud of their togetherness. Even when adversity hit, we stayed locked in and kept fighting.” Cherokee knew the assignment was daunting when it drew Region 1’s short straw and the accompanying trip to Alcoa for a second straight year.
