A NIGHT UNDER THE STARS

Come explore the Texas night sky with volunteers from the San Antonio Astronomical Association at the next Star Party at Crescent Bend Nature Park on Saturday, July 31 from 8:30 – 11 p.m. Get an amazing view of the stars and planets, watch satellites tracking across the sky, and learn about the different star clusters from our knowledgeable volunteers. Star Party Etiquette: Dim your vehicle lights when entering the park. Bring a flashlight with a red infrared “night-vision” setting or make your own by covering a regular flashlight with red cellophane and a rubber band. Dress for the weather and bring water and a camp chair if you’d like. Don’t touch any equipment without asking the astronomer first. Avoid loud and boisterous activity; the stars in the sky are the show for the night. This event is FREE. Call the Parks & Recreation Department for more information at (210) 619-1850 and register on Schertz.com for event updates.
