Spring is coming, and that means the Placitas Star Party isn’t far off. This year’s event will take place at the Placitas Community Library on Friday, March 15th. The star party BEGINS AT 6PM WITH Solar Viewing. At 7pm The Albuquerque Astronomical Society (TAAS) own Star Master, Tom Grzybowski will offer a presentation of the important stars that will be visible—Jupiter, Uranus, double stars, and star clusters. By then the sky will be dark and viewing will continue into the night. There will be a variety of types and sizes of telescopes to guide you to the wonders of our dark skies.
For more information, see www.taas.org , www.placitaslibrary.com , call 867-3355 or email to taas@taas.org.. We look forward to seeing you and the stars on Friday March 15th at 6pm or later.
