Star Party at Wildlife West Nature Park
by John Weckerle
The Town of Edgewood will host a Star Party at Wildlife West Nature Park in Edgewood Saturday, June 12, starting at 8 p.m. Area astronomers from the East Mountain Stargazers will be on hand with some impressive telescopes to show attendees such sites as Saturn’s rings, the Hubble Space Telescope, satellites, meteors, and more. As always with the Star Parties held at Wildlife West, popcorn and cider will be provided. The slide show for this event will be the NASA Cosmos presentation, and the festivities will include the “Who Wants To Be An Astronaut” Game. All participants will be provided with a star map and a satellite flyover schedule.
The event will be held at Wildlife West Nature Park’s Bean Barn. For more information and a look at the sky map for June 12, see the event flyer.
