Statewide Star Party: Hammocks Beach State Park

Join us for an incredible night under the stars. Our program events will contain: A rover team building activity to roam through an obstacle course to collect “moon rocks”. Make-it-take-it activities: Build a lunar module then conduct test landings on a moon surface & a rover from household materials. Telescopes set at the base of the coastline for star gazing. Join us to listen to cultural myths and the connection between constellations & wildlife. We have local agencies joining us for this event: Maritime Museum, NC Coastal Federation, Tuscarora Landfill, and CMAST. The NC Science Festival’s annual Statewide Star Party is made possible through the generous support of the NC Space Grant.
