Virtual Star Party

We have built (and continue to expand) a network of astronomers (amateur and professional!) who have telescopes they can share online. When the weather is willing and the telescopes are available, we will hold global star parties that bring you the skies of dawn, dusk, and everything in between (including the Sun). To become a part of our telescope network, contact Scott Lewis.

Star Parties are held Sunday Nights and when there are Special Events. Start time fluctuates with time of year, so refer to the CosmoQuest calendar or Virtual Star Party Google+ Page.

Special Events

Sometime something awesome happens around a sky event, space exploration event, or just a Wednesday afternoon. We try and capture these shared experiences through Google Hangouts, and here we archive them for you! Keep an eye on our calendar for upcoming special events.
