Mount Jefferson State Natural Area is hosting a Statewide Star Party! Join us, Friday, April 24th at the Sunset overlook from 7-10 pm for astronomically fun hands-on activities, celestial crafts, and star gazing from the overlook! Dress as an astronaut to celebrate this year’s theme, “Mission to the Moon.”

The NC Science Festival’s annual Statewide Star Party is made possible through the generous support of the NC Space Grant.
