BASF Star Party: Los Altos

Co-hosted with the Peninsula Astronomical Society, the SETI Institute, and NASA's Lunar Science Institute

• Telescope viewing at the Foothill Observatory, 6:30pm to 9:30pm. The observatory will be open free to all visitors. Telescopes from the Peninsula Astronomical Society will be set up in the area around the observatory, provided the sky is clear. Regardless of sky conditions, members from the NASA Lunar Science Institute will be setting up downstairs at the observatory, providing handouts, displaying Moon rocks, and demonstrating Moon Zoo (through which the public can help analyze the images coming back from Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.) Please park in the west end of Parking Lot 3 and walk uphill to the observatory, which is located next to the Krause Center. Please note that parking costs $2 in quarters.
• If it is cloudy, there will also be a program of astronomy talks and activities in room 5015 on campus. More information will be posted at: www.foothill.edu/ast (and at the recorded hotline at 650-949-7888).
