The 34th annual Southern Star will be held April 27-30 at Wild Acres Retreat near Spruce Pine, NC.  Confirmed speakers this year include Mike Menzel from NASA, speaking about the James Webb Space Telescope and Dr. Brad Barlow from High Point Univeristy.  Many of you will remember Dr. Barlow from his 2017 visit to Southern Star.  Two more speakers will round out the schedule and their talks and biographies will be shared as they become available.

Come join us for 4 days and 3 nights of friendship, fellowship, great speakers and (hopefully) star gazing.  We have a first quarter moon, but that shouldn't deter us.

Time: 4:00 PM - 11:00 AM Eastern
