Great Basin National Park

Star Party and Telescope Viewing

Each night, amateur astronomers gather their telescopes near the Astronomy Amphitheater to showcase the night sky and dazzle with a peek through their eyepieces. Look at colorful star-forming nebulas, ancient star clusters, far off galaxies millions of light years distant, or the planets which dot our night sky.

Telescope viewing is driven almost entirely by volunteers donating their time and the use of their delicate equipment to the park. Treat volunteers and their telescopes with the care & respect they deserve.
