Friday Night Starlight Party in the Piazza at Europa Village - 3/20/2026. 7pm to 9:30pm

[Mark Baker]

Come out and experience the rush as the planet transitions through the Vernal Equinox...

Oh... well maybe you won't feel anything, but

I'm sure you will appreciate the sound of the event as the ecliptic passes midpoint... 

Well, okay there maybe is no noise either, but...

At least you can see the constellations and celestialbodies jockey for positioning as the equinox fully kicks in...

Okay, okay... so it'll pretty much be a normal night, but you can see a waxing crescent Moon, Jupiter, a rising Venus, Orion, the Pleiades / Subaru, and sundrie nebulae, clusters, and galaxies!!!

Scope or no, all are welcome...

PS - The equinox occurs at 7:46am PDT in case you were wondering...

Clear, Dark Skies...
