Astronomy for the Whole Family

by MaggiePowell Do you have kids who love the stars? Maybe you want to teach your kids more about astronomy... Here are a few ideas to get kids excited about the stars. Imagine...pulling a kid away from the TV or game system to see a real show in the skies.

by MaggiePowell I love looking at the stars. And Celestron Astronomy Binoculars make it easy. One of my favorite childhood memories is of Stargazing with my Mother. We used astronomy binoculars instead of a telescope, because they were easier for us to pull out and use wherever we happened to be.

Golden State Star Party This is the one I attend. Large open field in Northern California.... LOADS of amazing telescopes and friendly people. Daytime activities, even for kids. Best of all... hot showers (they bring in a fancy shower truck). Griffith Observatory Star Parties Monthly Star Parties are held at the iconic Griffith Park Observatory.
