Description
As part of the second annual Bay Area Science Festival, we are throwing a regional star party (telescope observing night) at over a dozen different sites. Colleges, schools, observatories and science centers around the Bay Area will be open, and both professional and amateur astronomers will be on hand to offer telescope viewing and observing tips. If the sky is cloudy, many sites will still offer indoor astronomy activities. Some institutions will also have astronomy talks, open houses, and family events that evening, regardless of the weather. Join us for a stellar evening.Check out the full details of the times, directions, and what's happening at each site at: http://astrosociety.org/education/2012-bay-area-science-festival-star-party/
