SCI Star Party

From common astronomical occurrences to rare cosmic phenomena, join us to learn about our solar system and beyond. Join SCI staff and volunteers to observe celestial objects, colorful double stars and star clusters, meteor showers and more through high-powered telescopes! Engage with stargazing guides to investigate the science of our solar system and beyond. Each event has a unique focus! Each SCI Star Party is held at a different location around the Des Moines Metro. Tickets and registration are not required to take part in the Star Party activities. See website for the dates, times and locations for this year’s schedule.
