Fifth Graders Host 'Star Party' Tonight


The Gila County Schools Office is hosting a “Star Party” tonight (Thursday), in association with the Arizona Science Foundation  and the National Optical Astronomy Observatory in Tucson. The Star Party will be at the upper fields of the Globe Community Center from 6:30 until 9:pm.

Local fifth grade students will be guiding the star gazing. Their teachers have been preparing them with a “Teaching With Telescopes” project. The fields will be covered with “Gallileoscopes” constructed by student teams, along with larger professional telescopes provided by the NOAO astronomers.

You are invited to join the students, families and teachers at the First Gila County Star Party.
