Winter Star Party Will Feature Night Sky Poster Artist

The National Park Service, in partnership with the Ventura County Astronomical Society, will host its annual Winter Star Party at Paramount Ranch in Agoura on Saturday.

In addition to sky party favorites, such as kids activities and viewing night sky objects through numerous high-powered telescopes, Dr. Tyler Nordgren will give a presentation about astronomy in national parks. The event will take place from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Nordgren, a professor of physics and astronomy at University of Redlands, is known for his retro-style posters of national parks in the dark.

Paramount Ranch is located at 2903 Cornell Road, Agoura, CA, 91301.
