WEEKEND FUN OPTION #1 & #2:
FRIDAY & SATURDAY NIGHT STAR-GAZING PARTIES
Option #1: Watch the International Space Station
Fly Overhead ~ Friday Night
Relax under the big Texas sky and plan your own family Star Gazing Party in the backyard (or for a better view, go to the edge of town to get away from the city lights)! Watch the International Space Station fly directly overhead!
Where: From the comfort of your own backyard (OR head to Grapevine Lake to scoot away from city lights, then catch the 9:30 Fireworks Show, click here for more details)
When: July 31, Look up toward the Southwest at 9:12 PM. Look for a bright object moving almost directly overhead (it will look like a bright moving star and will fade away at 9:15 PM).
Option #2: FREE Star Gazing Party at the Noble Planetarium (at the Science & History Museum) ~ Saturday Night
Take your “Star Gazing” fun to the next level and join the Noble Planetarium staff for their FREE Star Party Saturday night. You’ll find plenty of telescopes for viewing and many experts will be on hand to help you and your family navigate your way through the skies.
