Indian Wells Elementary School will host a Family Star Party from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. MST on Thursday, March 2. This event is an outreach program of the American Indian Mobile Educational Resources, funded by a National Aeronautics and Space Administration/Northern Arizona University grant. A telescope will be available for viewing night sky objects such as Venus, Mars, the Orion Nebula and possibly some Messier objects. Representatives from the NAU Astronomy and Physics departments will be on site to answer questions. The Star Party will offer a chance for families to learn about and explore our solar system, and enjoy the beauty of the night sky. The free event will be open to all IWES families and community members.
