HAL Public Star Party Saturday 25 July

[Joel Goodman]

All - Come join us this coming Saturday (25 July), beginning at sunset, for our monthly public star party at Alpha Ridge Park.  Our 2026 star parties have each attracted close to 200 enthusiastic visitors.  Our public star parties are held clouds or clear.  Only severe summer thunderstorms stop us.  The long range forecast looks promising.

Notable times on the 25th: 

Sunset 8:25

Venus set 10:27

The waxing gibbous moon will be with us all evening.

HALO will be open with Krystal Rolon at the helm, and I'm confident Arjun and friends will have tables and activities set up.

Tell your friends and share our website - www.howardastro.org.  I can't think of a better family activity, especially one that's free, on a warm Maryland summer evening.  Touring the Solar System Walk is a good time filler waiting until it's dark enough for observing.

Start your clear sky dances early this week.

Your host for the evening (along with Bianca Andersen) -
