Star Party Preview

Chabot Space & Science Center

Partnering with Astronomy Magazine and Celestron Telescope Company, we’re throwing a party…a star party! But we’ve decided that the marvels of the great sky are too much to contain in one evening, so we’re doing double the celebrating!

Friday, August 24th – Star Party Preview
6:30
10pm /  Free with General Admission
Join editors of Astronomy magazine, Chabot staff, and the East Bay Astronomical Society for our Friday night Telescope Maker’s Workshop and conversations on astroimaging, telescope viewing tips and the basics of astronomy.

Saturday, August 25th Star Party
10am
10pm / Free with General Admission
Why should the night sky have all the fun?! The stars won’t be out until later this evening, but our star party will start rockin’ in the daylight hours and continue through nightfall. Join us for a day of astronomy along with our friends at Astronomy Magazine and Celestron Telescope Company. Dabble in hands-on make stations, enjoy solar viewing on our observatory deck (weather permitting), crafts and creations throughout the Center and café-style conversations with experts in the field. Let your inner star shine at our party in the hills!
