Salt Lake Astronomical Society
Star Party "Services"
The Salt Lake Astronomical Society hosts
over 30 free public star and Sun parties each year at locations in the Salt
Lake Valley, it's
observatory in Stansbury Park and at Bryce Canyon National Park. Many
of these events include talks on various astronomical topics, some of which
can be used to help qualify participants for scout award programs.
Information on our free programs can be found at
