Do you ever look up into the night sky and wonder – “what is all that stuff up there; I wish I could get a closer look.” You’ll have a chance to do just that on Saturday during StarFest, at Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site.

The event is being hosted by the Chesmont Astronomical Society, as a way to share their knowledge of the night sky and love of astronomy with the general public.

“Anyone and everyone should come; this is an event that would be good for a six-year-old, an 86-year-old and everyone in between,” said Robert Cordivari, StarFest chairman and amateur astronomer. “We want to open the awareness of the night sky to adults and children. And for children, we hope it will get them thinking about their place in the universe and the beauty of astronomy.”
