The SDSU physics department hosts several star parties for area schools.  During these events, numerous telescopes are set up to view the planets, moon, and many deep-sky objects such as star clusters, nebula, and galaxies.  A tutorial on constellation identification is also provided.  Schools participating in the program in the past include, Brookings, Elkton, Volga, Great Plains Lutheran in Watertown, Sioux Fall Christian, and Langford. Observing sessions have also been provided for the South Dakota Science and Math Teachers Conference in Huron.  If you are interested in having a star party at your school, please contact Larry Browning or Judy Vondruska.
