Free Astronomy Star Party with TriState Astronomers

May 3 @ 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm

Free
Experience the magic of the night sky at Fox Haven Farm, a beautiful nature retreat dedicated to education, conservation, and community conn

Join us for a spectacular evening of stargazing with the TriState Astronomers! Whether you’re a seasoned observer or just curious about the night sky, this free event offers a chance to view celestial wonders through high-powered telescopes with expert guidance.

Public star parties are run in an open-house style, meaning guests are welcome to arrive at any time during the event and stay as long as they like. There is no formal lecture beforehand—just hands-on viewing and expert insights as you explore the cosmos at your own pace.

Sunset will occur around 8:00 PM. While the moon and Jupiter will be visible earlier in the evening, the best time to observe fainter deep-sky objects like galaxies and nebulae will be after 8:30 PM when full darkness sets in. Jupiter will become more prominent as the night progresses, offering a fantastic opportunity to see its bands and moons. Mars will be positioned close to the moon, making it a bit tricky to view but still an exciting challenge for attendees.

Bring your curiosity, questions, and a sense of wonder for an unforgettable night under the stars!

Blankets, lawn chairs, and picnic snacks are highly recommended for comfortable viewing.

About LandBack Tax
From 2022 onward, Fox Haven will donate $2 from each event ticket to the Piscataway Conoy Tribe to pay LandBack tax, acknowledging our access to stolen Indigenous land. Through Piscataway Eyes is an Indigenous-led initiative working to restore ancestral land and sovereignty to the Piscataway and other Indigenous communities of the Chesapeake.
