Tonight we celebrate the 53rd Global Star Party with Special Guest Hosts or the Nebraska Star Party!

John Johnson of the NSP is bringing on amateur astronomers who have experienced the ultra dark skies of the NSP, as well as some regulars of the GSP as well. The theme is the emergence of "in person" star parties with a focus on the Nebraska Star Party which will have its "in person" event on August 1-6 under some of the darkest skies in North America at Merritt Reservoir State Recreation Area in Nebraska.
