A "star party" is an event where astronomy enthusiasts gather to observe celestial objects through telescopes. These gatherings can take place in various locations, such as parks, observatories, or remote areas with minimal light pollution. Participants often share their knowledge and experiences, making it a social event as well as an educational one. During a star party, attendees may view planets, stars, and other astronomical phenomena like nebulae or galaxies. Many star parties also include presentations or workshops led by experienced astronomers, providing insights into topics like astrophotography or telescope operation. These events are open to all, regardless of skill level.
