"Star Party to Illuminate Ancient Skies Near Colorado Springs"

The Colorado Springs Astronomical Society is hosting a "star party" on May 31 at Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument, a site known for its ancient redwood stumps and International Dark Sky status. The event, featuring high-powered telescopes and laser pointers, offers a rare opportunity to observe the night sky in a location relatively free from light pollution. The event is weather-dependent, with a backup date of June 1, and requires a national parks pass or a $10 fee for attendees aged 16 and older.
