Cumberland Falls State Resort Park will celebrate its newly expanded astronomy program with a Star Party scheduled for Saturday, March 28.
With the purchase of three high-powered telescopes, astronomy binoculars and stargazing software made possible by a state/federal grant, the program has started with great success.
The next Winter Star Party is set for March 28 at 7 p.m. Participants will meet in the Moonbow Room inside the DuPont Lodge. Star Party participants will learn to read a sky map, view the moon, planets and other objects in the sky. In case of inclement weather, participants will utilize computer software to simulate what would be seen on a clear night. Star parties are free of charge.
