The stars are aligning in a beautiful way this Saturday with Wimberley Parks & Recreation’s bi-annual Star Party at Blue Hole Regional Park. This will be an evening of stargazing, live music and fun activities for the whole family. Co-sponsored by the Wimberley Dark Sky Committee and the Texas State Astronomy Club, this evening event will include a telescope workshop at 5:45 p.m., live music starting at 6:45 p.m., telescope viewing at 8:30 p.m. and a Dark Sky tour at 9 p.m. On the swim lawn, there will be a mothing activity, and while I’m not exactly sure what that is, if it has anything to do with moths, then sign me up. Our neighboring towns, Wimberley and Woodcreek, have been designated as Dark Sky communities since 2018. This means that the towns have made long-term commitments to building and lighting the area to protect migrating birds and the pristine night sky.
