Annual Fall Star Party

Tarleton State University's Program for Astronomy Education and Research will hold its annual fall Star Party at the Hunewell Ranch Observatory. Visitors will have the opportunity to gaze at stars and deep space objects, as well as several planets, through Tarleton's 32-inch reflecting research telescope. Visitors are encouraged to bring their telescopes, set up on one of two concrete pads, and share the view with others. Stargazing will continue until 11:00 PM. Visitors are asked to turn off headlights as they approach the observatory. Free coffee and hot cocoa will be provided.
