Gould Observatory Public Star Party Tonight (3/13)

[Krystal Rolon]

Hello,

I want to invite HAL members to a public star party tonight, March 13, from 8 to 11 p.m.! 

Are you interested in learning about the science of landing on the Moon? Participate in our "Lunar Lander" engineering challenge at our star party! Guests of all ages can tackle a lander design that can survive the drop to the surface. 

Will the Gould Observatory be open for the lunar eclipse? Sadly, no.

The lunar eclipse will peak in the early morning of March 14, and our campus will be closed. Please enjoy the view of the eclipse from home since no special equipment is needed.

Guests are welcome to set up telescopes, binoculars, or other similar viewing equipment 30 minutes before the start of the star party. 

The Gould Observatory is located on the campus of Glenelg Country School in Ellicott City. The address is 12793 Folly Quarter Road | Ellicott City, MD 21042. Our school is approximately 20 minutes from Alpha Ridge Park.

There are restroom facilities available on site. Power outlets are limited. 

If you have any questions or want more information, please email me!

Best,

Krystal
