Star Party

 

Cerro Coso Community College Foundation Presents

Astronomical Star Party & Barbecue

Cerro Coso’s annual Star Party, held in collaboration with the China Lake Astronomical Society (CLAS), offers a unique evening of stargazing and science education for all ages. CLAS members will provide telescopes and share their knowledge to help attendees explore the night sky, both at the event site and from the Dr. Alex Shlanta Astronomical Observatory. The event aligns with Cerro Coso’s mission to inspire creativity in the arts and sciences, aiming to spark curiosity in astronomy and the natural world among both children and adults.

In addition to celestial viewing, the Star Party will feature a full evening of family-friendly fun. Guests can enjoy a dinner prepared by Cerro Coso staff, along with music and games for kids of all ages.

Star Party proceeds go to the Cerro Coso Foundation, founded in 1977, and operates as an auxiliary arm of the college. Funds raised at events go toward student scholarships and to support other CCCC activities.

Stay tuned for more details about next year’s event!
