Star Party in Hauke Park In-Person
Join the Mill Valley Public Library and Marin Stargazers for a night of stargazing in Hauke Park South! Come test out the library's brand new Orion Starblast 4.5 inch reflector telescope along with some telescopes provided by Marin Stargazers volunteers. On March 1st, 2023, Venus and Jupiter will both be visible next to each other in the western sky in an astronomical event known as a conjunction. Weather permitting, we'll aim the telescopes at the conjunction as well as the moon and some other interesting starry sights.
Feel free to park by the public restrooms at 1 Hamilton Drive, next to the police station. The telescopes will be set up in Hauke Park South, a few steps from the parking lot. All ages are welcome at our star party. Make sure to dress warm!
Following the star party, the library's new telescope will be added to the collection, so stargazers can check out a telescope from the library and explore the night sky from anywhere.
