Star Party

Hundreds of star parties such as this will take place all around the world during Galilean Nights, taking place on 22 - 24 October. This photo was taken in southern Alberta, Canada, on 12 September 2009 where about 200 people gathered to hear Siksika stories of the Milky Way before seeing it for themselves under the dark rural skies.
