Description
Join us for the NC Science Festival's Statewide Star Party, themed "Your Place in Space"! Take part in fun, hands-on activities and a solar system walk early in the evening. As the sun goes down, enjoy constellation storytelling around the campfire and observe the night sky through telescopes and binoculars as experts from the Raleigh Astronomy Club take you on a celestial tour!
This free Star Party event is hosted by Wake County's American Tobacco Trail staff partnering with the Agape Center for Environmental Education, the Raleigh Astronomy Club, Girl Scout Troop 2584, and Girl Scout Area Wake 23. All ages and skill levels are welcome. Bring your curiosity, water bottle, chair and/or blanket, and a picnic dinner to enjoy beforehand if you wish. The event will take place on the back field at the White Oak parking area under the stars.
