2024 North Carolina Statewide Star Party
Thanks to generous grant support from the North Carolina Space Grant, the 2024 North Carolina Science Festival again featured the Statewide Star Party as a signature initiative.
During this 12th annual Statewide Star Party, 37 hosts offered public skywatching events across North Carolina from Friday, April 5th to Monday, April 8th, 2024. This year’s theme was “Sun & Moon” in honor of the April 8th solar eclipse. Star Party hosts included state and local parks, colleges and universities, planetariums, science centers, nature centers, and libraries. Nearly 16,000 visitors participated in Star Party events this year.
