Global Star Party LV celebrates space exploration tonight!

Today is the anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing so tonight the 55th Global Star Party will celebrate the "Great Leaps" of Space Exploration. We want you to join us for the journey!
This special livestream event is a perfect opportunity to celebrate a series of historic milestones of space exploration including: The first manned mission to the Moon; the first spacecraft landing on Mars; and the first space tourism flight of the Blue Origin team, which included the youngest and the oldest people to fly in space.

Global Star Party LV gets underway at 7:00 p.m. CDT with Special Guest Host Dr. Caitlin Ahrens of Goddard Space Flight Center, Dr. David H. Levy, and SETI's Senior Astronomer Dr. Seth Shostak. The show will include a stellar line up of scientists and astronomers who will celebrate the Giant Leaps ahead of us as humans prepare to colonize the Moon and then eventually to Mars.
