DEMING – A Stars-N-Parks astronomy program will take place this Saturday, Sept. 21st, at Rockhound State Park.
Rockhound State Park is located in the Little Florida Mountains southeast of Deming.
Attendees will observe highlights of the mid-September sky, including the Milky Way bisecting the sky, Saturn east of the meridian, and Jupiter west of the meridian.
The event will begin with a night sky tour, followed by views of deep sky objects through a high-powered telescope.
Mike Nuss will be the presenter.
The program is viewed in a dark sky setting beginning at about 8:10 p.m., and attendees should arrive at the park at sunset, which is at about 7 p.m., so they can become familiar with their surroundings before nightfall.
The program will end at about 9:40 p.m.
Stars-N-Parks is sponsored by the National Public Observatory, a non-profit membership organization.
