Star Party 2024 (Saturday)

Presented by: Stellar Vista Observatory and Amazing Earthfest

Night Sky

Date: May 11, 2024

Time: 8:30 PM Utah Time - 10:30 PM Utah Time

Celebrate natural darkness by joining amateur astronomy interpreters from Kanab’s Stellar Vista Observatory for an evening observing the stars, planets, and Earth’s thin waxing crescent Moon inside the Winter Hexagon! We’ll begin with a conversation about the wise use of light at night, followed by a laser constellation tour and spectacular views of deep sky objects at the eyepiece of SVO’s powerful telescopes.
