INDIANA FAMILY STAR PARTY
INDIANA FAMILY
STAR PARTY
Amateur astronomers, astronomy enthusiasts, and families from the region will once again gather at Camp Cullom, near Mulberry, IN, for immersion in the hobby and camaraderie of astronomy.  We welcome all our fellow astronomers to our full event, and the public on Friday, 8/7 and Saturday, 8/8 after 4:00 p.m.
Note that the horizontal menu bar at the top of each star party web page can be used to navigate to all these pages.
A special ceremony will be held at 11:30 Saturday morning to officially dedicate a new Indiana historical marker commemorating Vesto and Earl Slipher.  The Slipher brothers were born near Mulberry, graduated from Frankfort High School and Indiana University, and made their marks on astronomy at the Lowell Observatory.  Vesto measured galactic velocity redshifts and Earl advanced planetary astrophotography, primarily of Mars.  More background information can be found at https://clintoncountydailynews.com/629730-2/.

Next year's star party is scheduled for August 24 to 29, 2027
