Who/What: Star Party At COC!

Details: Join us on Friday, November 3rd at our annual Fall in-person event held outside at our beautiful Canyon Country Campus, Upper Plaza, adjacent to the Don Takeda Science Center. Our guest speaker, Dr. Varoujan Gorjian, JPL Research Astronomer, will present “A Brief History of JPL” – from helping launch the United States’ first artificial satellite to building robots to explore the solar system to making cameras for the Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory has been at the forefront of space exploration for over 80 years. Come and see the story unfold with pictures from the earliest planetary missions to the latest deep space images from the James Webb Space Telescope, all set in motion in Los Angeles by a group of amateur rocket enthusiasts.  Attendees will also be able to explore the night sky through high-powered telescopes with the assistance of volunteers from the Local Group Astronomy Club of Santa Clarita, as well as the Antelope Valley Astronomy Club.

The evening will include interactive demonstration tables presented by a number of groups and clubs!!  The Associated Student Government (ASG) will also be on hand with free snacks and lots of energy! It is an educational and enjoyable evening for all!

This is a free event and open to the public.  Please help us spread the word and we hope to see you there!
