Saturday, September 4 - 8:00 to 9:30 p.m. – Free Big Bend Star Gazing Party
Big Bend is a ranger station 30 miles above Colfax, along I-80. You’ll see Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, and stars using telescopes owned and operated by local celebrity comet hunter Don Machholz and other astronomers. This is their 16th consecutive year of conducting the Big Bend sky tours. These star parties are different from most because there is no moon in the sky. They take advantage of the dark skies of Big Bend and show objects that you need to get away from the city lights to see well. They move rather briskly through the universe. Therefore, you are asked to arrive on time for the 10-minute orientation talk and plan to stay for the full 90 minutes. You won't be disappointed. In case of poor weather, the session is canceled. Bring plenty of warm clothes; even in the summer it gets cold at 5,800 feet elevation. This is a family-friendly event. Restrooms are nearby. You can find directions, information about all Don’s astronomy activities, and the 2010 schedule of astronomy events at thecomethunter.com.
