Star Party

At Palmer Observatory at the Museum

March 12, 2022 / 7:00 PM–10:00 PM

Star Parties are back at the Museum! The observatory will open its doors and its roof to share a remarkable view of the wonders of the night sky through our state-of-the-art 20-inch telescope. Join Museum astronomy staff and members of the Santa Barbara Astronomical Unit for an evening of craters on the Moon, nebulas, galaxies, and more. This event is free and appropriate for all audiences. The observatory will be open from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM, weather permitting. Due to the use of shared telescopes, masks are required.
