Telescope Party
Have you ever wanted to see Saturn's rings, live and in-person? Have you wondered what kinds of deep space objects lie beyond our solar system? Find out at a Haleakalā Telescope Party! Telescopes will be set up for nighttime viewing, and park staff will be on hand to answer questions and take you on a sightseeing tour of the night sky.
Attendees should plan for cold and windy weather and bring red-light flashlights or headlamps.
