Star Gazing Party

Star Gazing Party

“Star Gazing” party at Colonel Allensworth State Historic Park on Friday, July 30th, 9 pm to midnight.

Colonel Allensworth SHP’s location, away from the glow of bright city lights, makes it an ideal place for star gazing.

Come out and see how many constellations you can identify. Maybe you will be lucky enough to witness a shooting star crashing and burning high in Earth’s upper atmosphere. Or maybe you will spot an earth grazer, a long, slow and colorful meteor that skims the Earth’s atmosphere like a stone skipping across the surface of a pond.

Bring a comfortable chair, bug spray, food and drinks, blanket, and a red-filtered flashlight for reading maps and charts without ruining your night vision. Binoculars and telescopes are optional.
