IN-PERSON: “Join us for an evening celebrating all things astronomy! You do not want to miss the final HPL Star Party, supported by NASA, the last in a 3-part series. Bring the entire family for fun underneath the stars at Gragg Park, the original home of NASA before it moved to Johnson Space Center.”

* At **6:30 PM**, special guest speaker Steven C. Smith will share exciting NASA news with us! Steven is a Senior Program Coordinator at Johnson Space Center in Houston. His work strives to inspire the next generation focusing on historically disenfranchised groups, helping create opportunities that engage students previously left out of the work NASA does.
