Upcoming Astronomy Events

As a service to our community, Sky & Telescope lists astronomy-related events, including star parties, observatory public nights, astronomy talks, and more. Star parties offer dark skies and astronomical fellowship and often cater to families and feature special activities for kids. Public nights give the general public a chance to view the sky through large telescopes, and public talks are a great place to learn the fundamentals of the science and the craft.
You’ll also see online events offered here.
And if you’d like free copies of Sky & Telescope‘s Let’s Go Stargazing flyer or door prizes for your next star party, you can fill out this form.

The dramatic fade-out of alpha Orion in 2019-2020 was of major interest to professional and amateur astronomers alike, and scientists are still trying to sort out what happened. We will review the research results for this extraordinary event and highlight AAVSO's photometry of the red star in the giant's left shoulder.
