Bay Area Star Party - Berkeley (Teens Only!)

Take a tour of the night sky with our regional star party at over 10 different sites across the Bay Area. Colleges, schools, observatories and science centers around the Bay Area will be open for a special evening of astronomical fun.

No telescope, no problem! Both professional and amateur astronomers will be on hand to offer telescope viewing and observing tips.

If the sky is cloudy, many sites will still offer indoor astronomy activities. Some institutions will also have astronomy talks and events that evening, regardless of the weather. Join us for a stellar evening.

Program jointly sponsored by the YMCA of the Central Bay Area, Bay Area Teen Science (B.A.T.S.), and University of California, Berkeley's Astronomy Department and Space Sciences Laboratory
