(Deming) – A Stars-N-Parks astronomy program will take place this Saturday at Rockhound State Park.
Rockhound State Park is located in the Little Florida Mountains southeast of Deming.
Attendees will observe highlights of the January sky with the Moon 26 days old and Sirius rising in the east… Andromeda is high in the west and Orion high in the east.
The event begins with a night sky tour, followed by views of deep sky objects though a high-powered telescope. Mike Nuss will be the presenter.
The program is viewed in a dark sky setting beginning at 6:30 p.m., and attendees should arrive at the park at sunset, which is at about 5:23 p.m., so they can become familiar with their surroundings before nightfall.
The program will end at about 8 p.m.
Stars-N-Parks is sponsored by the National Public Observatory, a non-profit membership organization that sponsors astronomy programs for all. More information is available at www.Astro-NPO.org.
