Planetarium Star Party
Nighttime public telescope viewing is offered monthly through public Star Parties. Beginning at dusk, a variety of telescopes are available on the grounds of the McDonnell Planetarium and operators will be on hand to answer questions and guide observing. Star Parties will not include a free Monthly Sky Lecture hosted inside the McDonnell Planetarium’s Orthwein Star Bay Theater due to renovations and upgrades through till June 2026.
If observing conditions are poor the Star Party will be canceled.
