Star Parties - Without the Paparazzi!


"Star Parties - Without the Paparazzi!","is none!

The Central Montana Astronomy Society hosts this excellent event once a month at the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center in Great Falls.
 So obviously, there's no better setting in which to host such a ""stellar"" event.


Some of the constellations we'll be lucky enough to see from Great Falls in the fall and winter of the year may include:

Andromeda - before she was made popular by the 80s cult flick ""Clash of the Titans,"" Andromeda, or the ""Chained Lady,"" was making movie magic in the night skies.
 In fact, in most sci-fi films that propose the existence of extraterrestrial life, the aliens commonly come from the Andromeda galaxy.
 In ancient Greek mythology, Cassiopeia was said to boast about her unrivaled beauty.


Perseus - another constellation in the Clash of the Titans myth! Perseus can be recognized by several deep sky objects, including double clusters, planetary nebula and emission nebula.


Pisces - one of the zodiac constellations, Pisces is ""the fish.
 The fish are connected at the tails.


Aries - another zodiac constellation representing ""the ram.
 The Astronomy Club members will probably be able to help Star Party attendees locate this obscure constellation.
