NC Science Festival, Statewide Star Party

Back by popular demand, Lake James State Park and the Catawba Valley Astronomy Club will be co-hosting the Annual Statewide Star Party. Learn some basic star gazing tips and take home your own star chart. There will be telescopes and binoculars set up for viewing the night sky, but feel free to bring your own if you have them. Folding chairs are also recommended. We will meet in the upper parking lot of the Paddy’s Creek Area at 7:45 p.m. and get things rolling as soon as it gets dark and stars and planets start showing themselves.

We’re so excited to have local author and illustrator Holly Myers with us to read from her children’s book: Goodnight Asheville. This is a beautiful picture book filled with bright illustrations of our city’s favorite attractions, museums, historial landmarks, and other points of interest.
