Museum of Space History Star Party

New Mexico Museum of Space History’s Astronomy League Star Party — Fall is a fantastic time to enjoy the night sky. Come along as a museum staff member shares the captivating stories of Pegasus, Perseus, Andromeda, and Cassiopeia. Discover the fascinating backstory of Pegasus, often depicted as a horse in various cultures. Meanwhile, the NMMSH Astronomy League will be using telescopes to observe celestial objects like Saturn, the moon, and the Andromeda Galaxy.  The event kicks off at 7:30 PM at the New Mexico Museum of Space History’s outdoor observatory. If visibility is poor, we will move activities to the Tombaugh Dome and Planetarium. We look forward to seeing you there!

This is a public star party supported by the Museum of Space History’s Astronomy League and Museum Educators.  Along with the normal array of telescopes, there will be big screen live viewing of astronomic objects as well as the usual visual observing.  This event is free to the public and will be held at the NMMSH Outdoor Observatory in the upper parking lot.  For more information, email msh.info@dca.nm.gov or visit our website at www.nmspacemuseum.org
