PLANETARIUM: Star Party (FREE)

Nighttime public telescope viewing is offered monthly through public Star Parties. Beginning at dusk, a variety of telescopes are available on the grounds of the McDonnell Planetarium and operators will be on hand to answer questions and guide observing. Star Parties include a free Monthly Sky Lecture at 6:00pm inside the Planetarium’s recently upgraded Orthwein StarBay. The lecture will explore targets and special events visible in the current month’s sky. Seating is limited and is available first come, first served. If observing conditions are poor the Star Party will be canceled. Learn more about the Planetarium Upgrades
