This public star party is supported by the Astronomy League and Museum Educators. Along with the normal array of telescopes, there will be big screen live viewing of astronomic objects as well as the usual visual observing. This event is free and will be held at the museum’s observatory complex.
Join the Alamogordo Astronomy League for spectacular views of Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, and the moon, all while a museum employee shares stories about Sirius the Dog star. Find out the allure of the brightest star in the night sky and how cultures all across the world have seen man's best friend in the sky. The event will begin at 7:00 at the Museum of Space History near the observatory and will take place rain or shine. In the case of poor conditions, we will meet in the Tombaugh Dome and Planetarium.
