STAR PARTY Success!
On Friday, November 15th, we celebrated CCC’s 20th Star Party, COC’s 50th Anniversary, and 50 years since the Apollo Moon landing with students, faculty, staff, and the community. Well over 100 visitors enjoyed our guest speakers, David Michaels and Erik Altenbernd’s discussion on the 50th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing & the history of the space race! Our guests interacted with many student clubs hosting activity tables, visited our portable planetarium, and viewed the skies through the many telescopes on hand. It was an evening enjoyed by all!!
Plan to attend our next Star Party in April 2020!! More details to come at canyons.edu/ccc, as the event gets closer.
Our sincere THANKS to all who made this evening possible!!
