Event

Looking for a dazzling night under the stars? Join the Tri-State Astronomers and Maryland Park Service Rangers at Fort Frederick State Park on Saturday, December 12th from 5:30 to 10 PM for a free public Star and Geminids Party!

 

Peer through telescopes to see Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, explore galaxies and nebulae, and don’t miss the spectacular Geminid Meteor Shower. Bring a blanket or lounge chair to relax while meteors streak across the sky.

 

Volunteers will be on hand with demonstrations and answers to your astronomy questions.

 

Please note: this event is weather dependent and will be canceled if skies are cloudy. For updates, check the Tri-State Astronomers Facebook page or website https://www.tristateastronomers.org/home before heading out.
