UIS moves next star party online

Virtual star parties continue at the University of Illinois Springfield.

The next star party will be broadcast live on Zoom (rain or shine) from 8:30-9:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 27. Originally scheduled to be held in-person, UIS decided to hold it online due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The link for the Zoom event will be posted at go.uis.edu/summerstarparties and @UISObservatory on Twitter. Three other star parties are planned but at this point, those are set to be in-person.
