The Star Party will be June 13 – 20\, 2020. You will see Solar System planets\, Galaxies Far Far Away\, Star Clusters — some with several hundred thousand stars\, Nebulae\, multiple star systems (some with as many as 6 stars)\, and lots more. The skies are so dark you can clearly see the band of the Milky Way overhead. We start with a talk in the Visitor Center Auditorium about an astronomy topic at 8 pm. Observing at the telescopes goes from sunset (about 8 pm) to 11 pm. This event is free and open to anyone inside the Grand Canyon (park entrance fee required).  For additional information\, check out our Grand Canyon Star Party Webpage at: http://tucsonastronomy.org/upcoming-events/grand-canyon-star-party/.
