Nevada is known for many things – its rich pioneer history, diverse geography, and a melting pot of friendly people. However, did you know that the silver state is also famous for the way it shines, not deep in its mines, but in its night sky? It’s true! Nevada has some of the most spectacular starry skies in the world! Discover the cosmos at the Great Basin National Park Astronomy Festival in Nevada.
This year, the Astronomy Festival will be held September 22-24 from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. Look for a free shuttle that runs from the Baker’s Great Basin Visitor Center to the Lehman Caves Visitor Center.
Great Basin National Park is the perfect place to observe the night sky without the intrusion of light pollution. The dark, open spaces in the area offer some of the best sky views.
The Astronomy Festival is a fun and educational event free for everyone!
If you plan to attend the Grand Bassin Observatory tour, be prepared for a 1-mile round-trip hike to the observatory. You will also be standing for approximately one hour for this event. Due to its popularity, pre-registration is required as seating is limited.
Beginner photographers will get the most out of this exciting and fun workshop. Registration is required (as well as your own equipment) to also attend the photo workshop.
Bring warm blankets and dress to bring down the nighttime temperatures, as events like this take place outdoors.
