It's a star party with Douglas (Doug) Parsons, Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Tyler Junior College. The Moon and Saturn will both be in prime viewing locations. Venus will still be visible as well, so, it should be quite a heavenly show! Doug will set up telescopes, and you are also invited to bring your own if you have one. The best way to prepare for this party is to bring water, snacks, binoculars, a lawn chair or blanket, and bug spray. We'll be outside so check the weather and dress accordingly. There is no charge for this event. Please use the registration link so we know you are coming.
