Horseshoe Bay: Join the City for Our Family Friendly Stargazing Party!
Join Us for Our Family Friendly Stargazing Party!
Join the City of Horseshoe Bay for a free community Stargazing Party Thursday, November 12, at 7 p.m. at the Horseshoe Bay Nature Park (1514 Golden Nugget).
The event celebrates the city's prestigious designation as an International Dark Sky Community, a recognition awarded to Horseshoe Bay by the International Dark-Sky Association (IDSA) on November 1, 2015, for exemplary efforts to preserve naturally dark night-time conditions.
On November 12, there will be a waxing crescent moon, meaning only about 10% of the moon will be visible! This will help create a beautiful dark sky, perfect for stargazing. We hope to see Andromeda, Orion, Venus, Saturn, and much more.
The Hill Country Astronomers (HCA), a local amateur astronomy organization, will provide powerful telescopes for attendees to view celestial objects. City staff will also be available to assist participants and share information about Horseshoe Bay's commitment to preserving dark skies.
Optional items to bring:
RSVPS are not required. Learn more at www.horseshoe-bay-tx.gov/stargazing.
