PUBLIC STAR PARTY with Yellowstone Valley Astronomy Association

Event
Join us at the Montana Audubon Center for an unforgettable evening of celestial discovery! We are thrilled to partner with the Yellowstone Valley Astronomy Association to bring the wonders of the night sky down to earth. Whether you are a seasoned stargazer or picking up a telescope for the first time, this event offers a unique opportunity to explore the cosmos from the beautiful, dark-sky setting of the Audubon Center.
What to Expect:
  • Expert Guidance: Members of the Yellowstone Valley Astronomy Association will be on hand with high-powered telescopes to guide you through the constellations, planets, and deep-space objects.
  • Night Sky Education: Learn about the seasonal stars visible over Montana and the importance of dark sky preservation for local wildlife.
  • Family-Friendly Fun: An educational experience perfect for curious minds of all ages.
Event Details:
  • What to Bring: Please dress in layers (Montana nights get chilly!), bring a red-light flashlight if you have one to preserve night vision, and feel free to bring your own binoculars or telescope.
  • Weather Note: This event is weather-dependent. In the event of heavy cloud cover or rain, check our social media for updates on a backup “indoor sky” presentation.
