Join us for the 6th annual Statewide Star Party! 

From September 18–21, sites across Minnesota will be activated with Star Parties and opportunities to observe the sky. This year, our theme is Aurora Voyage: Chasing the Northern Lights! You can join this Star Party on September 20, 6-8 pm, at the MSUM Planetarium.

This event is a partnership with the @BellMuseum.

What is a Star Party?

A star party is an exciting gathering of astronomy enthusiasts and curious individuals who come together to appreciate the wonders of the universe. It’s a chance to explore celestial objects, participate in interactive theme-based activities, and share new experiences with fellow stargazers of all levels. During the Statewide Star Party, the @BellMuseum partners with organizations across Minnesota to orchestrate a symphony of star parties taking place during the same weekend.
