Gepersonaliseerde sterrenkaart van Madison
43.0731°N, 89.4012°W
Capital of Wisconsin set on an isthmus between Lakes Mendota and Monona, Madison blends the academic energy of UW-Madison, the white dome of its Capitol, and a deep attachment to the living arts and nature. From its weekly farmers' market to Olbrich Botanical Gardens, the city breathes to the rhythm of well-defined northern seasons. Gift a Madison star map — a present as clear and cultured as the isthmus city.

De hemel boven Madison
At 43.1° north latitude, Madison offers long, clear winter nights when Orion climbs very high and Polaris stands 43° above the horizon. UW Space Place, the public outreach branch of the University of Wisconsin astronomy department, hosts lectures and observations. An hour and a half south at Williams Bay, the historic Yerkes Observatory, founded in 1897, houses the world's largest refracting telescope with its 40-inch lens — reopened to the public in 2020.
