Stories of the Stars
Where
Staunton River State Park, 1170 Staunton Trail, Scottsburg, VA 24589.
Observation Field
When
April 26, 2025. 9:00 p.m. - 11:00 p.m.
Come join the storytellers from CHAOS (Chapel Hill Astronomical and Observational Society) on the Observation Field to share the stories of the stars. Learn about constellations, planets, astrophotography, and the vast distance from the stars to the Earth. Stop by the Visitor Center for a red-light filter for your flashlight or phone; this reduces the impact of white light on your night vision on the field. Don't miss out on this chance to experience Staunton River State Park in the dark!
