Friday Night Star Party

Utah Skies and The Snyderville Basin Special Recreation District will be hosting a star party this coming Friday night (8/5). Folks are invited to make plans to come out and observe the heavens through some of the finest astronomical equipment available to amateurs. On display will be a tiny sliver of a crescent moon... so tiny that we might not even find it :) Along with this, we'll take a peak at two of our solar systems brightest planets... brilliant Venus and giant Jupiter.

Once we're done with these, we'll go deep and explore the wonders of the summer night sky.

A quick sampling will likely include:

• M13 - The Hercules Star Cluster


• M20 - The Trifid Nebula


• M57 - The Ring Nebula


• NGC6992 - The Veil Nebula

Admission, as for all Utah Skies events, is free. Bring your friend... bring your telescope... or just bring your imagination.
