From the Pacific to the Atlantic, people will be gathering across America
this year to share the wonders of the night sky. Some of these “star
parties” involve a single evening of viewing objects through a telescope,
and others encompass several nights of telescope viewing as well as daytime
activities. Use the contact information here to get as much information as
possible before you attend. Be sure to find out if the event is geared toward
beginners, experts, or both — and if there are activities for children,
and what meals and lodging are available. Most of all, have fun!
