PULLMAN, Wash. – The Department of Physics and Astronomy and the Palouse Astronomical Society will host a Barbecue and Star Party on Saturday, Sept. 7, at WSU’s Jewett Observatory.
A barbecue and live music will run 7-9 p.m., with star gazing to follow 9-11 p.m.
A $7 donation is suggested for the dinner.
Stargazing is free and open to the public. Weather permitting, guests can view Saturn and other stars from various telescopes including the 12-inch Clark telescope – the second largest telescope in the state.
Dress warmly and check the sky before attending – astronomical objects are invisible when there are clouds!
