Explore Alliance presents the 39th Global Star Party with Guest Host Molly Wakeling that gets underway tonight at 8:00 p.m. Central. 

Wakeling has selected an incredible line up of nearly 20 amazing presenters with a mix of live talks and live astrophotography for this special event. Comet Discoverer David Levy and Astronomy Magazine's David Eicher deliver the keynote talks. The Astronomical League is on hand to conduct door prizes.

Global Star Party is simulcast on Facebook, Twitter, Twitch, and YouTube. You can watch and chat with us live by accessing any of our live links at http://www.explorescientific.com/live.

You too can join in the live simulcast After Party that comes after the speaker line-up with the Zoom waiting room opening at 11:00 p.m. Central. Note that the After Party is not simply a "hang out", you have to participate. So be prepared with a 10 minute presentation or a live view through your telescope.
