Haleakala National Park's summer star programs continue.  Join us at Hosmer Grove for kilo hoku (star watching), an evening of Hawaiian star lore and amateur astronomy.  As the summer stars change so do our stories: we'll help you understand how to use the night sky as both clock and calendar.  Bring a beach mat or tarp to lie on and dress for cold evening temperatures.  Meet at the Hosmer Grove shelter.  This free hour-long program begins at 7:30 p.m. just after sunset, Saturday the 22nd.  More to come throughout the summer.  The park entrance fee of $10 applies; call 572-5559 for more information.
