Enjoy the wonders of the nighttime sky during Lone Star College-Montgomery’s annual “Star Party” on Wednesday, April 16, at 7 p.m., in the Health Science Center (Building B), Room 102.

This family-friendly event begins with a special presentation about the newest Type 1a supernova by Dr. Aaron Clevenson, astronomy professor at LSC-Montgomery and an expert of star observations.

An outdoor viewing of the nighttime sky out on the college's soccer fields, led by professor John Wakefield's stellar astronomy students, will follow the presentation. The "view of the heavens" will also include discussions about spectroscopy, constellations, deep space objects and star clusters. A drawing for prizes will follow the tour for all who attend. 

The event is free, and no astronomy experience is required.
