This event will take place on 2 nights: Friday April 25 & Saturday April 26.
In celebration of National Park Week, join park staff and volunteers from the Albuquerque Astronomical Society (TAAS) for a Star Party! A program will be given at 8:00pm each night (4/25 & 4/26) at the visitor center, and the telescopes will be ready to go (weather permitting) for use when it gets dark, including the 25-inch Dobsonian inside the domed observatory. Visitors will get to observe galaxies, nebulae, star clusters, and more until around 10:30pm. Red lights are highly encouraged! Please call the Chaco visitor center at (505) 786-7014 with any questions.
