Real Star Power

Special | 5m 33sVideo has Closed Captions

Amateur astronomers gather at a star party to gaze at the complexity of the universe.

City lights can hide the marvels of the universe. Only by going to dark places, such as a state park in the mountains, can amateur astronomers gaze upon the vastness and complexity of the universe. The earth is part of a solar system, which is in a spiral arm of a galaxy, which is one of millions of galaxies in the expanding universe. It's all there to see.
