Star Party
Saturday, September 6, 2008
Beginning at Dusk

Stars, planets and other wonders of the universe will come into sharp focus when Moody Gardens hosts a Star Party on September 6th.

Astronomers of the past set the foundation for today's astronomy and we have come a long way since Galileo's first telescope. Stargazers of all ages are invited on a journey through outer space as Moody Gardens hosts its Star Party from dusk until 10:00 pm. This event is free.

“Star Parties offer a great opportunity for people of all ages to learn about our solar system and the Milky Way galaxy,” said Education Curator Johanna Goforth. “Whether you’re a first-time star gazer or a seasoned astronomer buff, you’ll have fun zooming in on the moon and distant galaxies.”

For more information, call Moody Gardens at 800/582-4673 or visit www.moodygardens.org.
