Great Conjunction Star Party

Lone Pine State Park 300 Lone Pine Road Kalispell, MT, 59901

We are holding a star party on Monday, 12-21, at Lone Pine State Park from 4:15-6:00 p.m. to observe a very close conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn that only happens every 20 years.  This one is exceptional because they have not been this close in 800 years.  This event is weather-dependent, but we will hold it with even somewhat cloudy skies.  We will also email on the day of to let you know whether or not it is cancelled.

We hope to see you there!
