Public Star Party at Abilene State Park with Big Country Master Naturalists

Abilene State Park

Join us this month for our monthly star party. The viewing starts shortly after dark but if you've never come to a star party it might be helpful to arrive shortly before so you can see where we are set up. Be sure to dress for the night temps and with all of our recent rain, be sure come prepared for some mosquitos because they are definitely out.
