Join park staff and volunteers from the Salt Lake Astronomical Society for one last celebration of the International Year of Astronomy. 2009 celebrates 400 years after Galileo pointed his telescope toward the sky. We have come along way since then.
Dig out your telescopes and on Dec 19th from 3pm- 7pm bring them to the Hailstone Event Center at Jordanelle State Park. Volunteers will be here to help set up and/or repair your telescope and show you how to use it. When the sun goes down we can celebrate the winter equinox by star gazing. If you don't have a telescope just come and star gaze. Hailstone is located on the west side of Jordanelle just off of Hwy 40. Day use fee of $10.00/carload up to 8 people required, or free to Utah State Parks Pass holders. Call (435)649-9540 for more info.
