 | The program, directed by Thomas Bemus , is a public outreach program designed by the NPO to educate the public about astronomy in a fun and family oriented environment. Stars-N-Parks events are held in Southern New Mexico, Upstate New York & Pennsylvania.
| Together with the State Parks Departments the NPO has scheduled a series of "star parties". Hosted Locally in New Mexico: - City of Rocks State Park - Faywood, NM
- Leasburg Dam State Park - Radium Springs, NM
- Pancho Villa State Park - Columbus, NM
- Caballo State Park - Caballo, NM
- Rockhound State Park - Deming, NM
- Oliver Lee State Park - Alamogordo, NM
These events are both informative as well as fun for the whole family. The dark sky environment is never in short supply at any of these locations. The many brilliant stars of our universe are brought up-close with the aid of our telescopes. The knowledgeable guides use laser pointers to tour you through the night sky. Consider joining us on one of the many "Star Parties" scheduled throughout the year.
All donations help keep the Stars-N-Parks program going. So, come on out and join us under the night sky, you'll be glad you did! |
