Hello everyone, Just touching base on National Astronomy Day - Night. We did planetarium programs, solar viewing and a stargazing event at the Challenger Space Center. The daytime attendance was more than 200 people. The doors opened for the stargazing at 6 PM and we did not leave until after 11 PM. We did a little solar viewing until the sunset then the evening stargazing. We had a nice attendance almost 300 people. Hope the Thunderbird Park program went well.
