Psst! We still exist! And we're doing a very informal planet party up in the field by Cedar Middle School and Park Discovery on Monday, December 21, 2020 from 6 - 7 p.m. with a couple of telescopes to view Jupiter and Saturn. Please be conscientious of others and stay 6 feet away from others when you come. Bring your own telescope if you like!

Join us (and the park service, obviously) for the Southwest Astronomy Festival this weekend! Events are hosted at Cedar Breaks, Cedar City, Parashant, St. George, and Pipe Spring National Monument. There are TONS of astronomy events to choose from, and SUSF will be there supporting the ones primarily in Cedar City. Check out the full brochure online:

The party could be coming to a community near you, view the stars through telescopes in numerous locations during the festival!

This was too funny not to share. 😂

On July 20, 1969, NASA faked the first moon landing with the help of around 411,000 people... Or at least that's what some conspiracy theorists believe.

It's the 50th Anniversary of the moon landing from July 16 - 24. To celebrate, we want to know: Do you remember the moon landing?

Lol!
