A Weekend Under The Stars


A Weekend Under The Stars

Abby Olmsted




The Sangamon Astronomical Society will host their Illinois Dark Skies Star Party this weekend. The Star Party kicks off Friday the 30th at the Jim Edgar Panther Creek State Park. This is the Astronomical Society's largest event of the year and astronomers from around the state as well as from surrounding states are expected to attend. Those in attendance can expect to see amazing views of the galaxy at night, weather permitting. During daylight hours, the Astronomical Society will host speakers and other educational programs at the park facilities. Anyone interested in astronomy is encouraged to attend.
