Join us at Prairie Ridge Ecostation to view the stars during the Statewide Star Party, the official kickoff event of the NC Science Festival! See the stars and planets through telescopes, learn about the constellations, get answers to your astronomy questions, and learn how YOU can help scientists learn more about our universe while having fun doing astronomy and night sky activities for all ages. This event is free and open to the public, so stop by for some starry fun!  For more information, please contact Chris Goforth at chris.goforth@naturalsciences.org or 919.707.8882.
