First Aggie Star Party of Spring Set for Tonight at Sbisa

COLLEGE STATION -- Aggies with an interest in the mysteries inherent in the sky beyond its potential for shadow-casting are invited to celebrate Groundhog Day in style at the first Aggie Star Party of 2012, set for tonight (Thursday, Feb. 2) on the Texas A&M University campus.

The event, hosted by the Texas A&M University Astronomy Group in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, will be held from 7 to 9 p.m. in front of Sbisa Dining Hall. Organizers say participants will have the opportunity to look through a telescope, find constellations -- possibly even rare meteors as seen across Texas and the Southwest last night -- and learn more about Texas A&M Astronomy.
