Mark your calendars for Friday, June 14, when the\u00a0Sam Houston Regional Library and Research Center<\/a>\u00a0invites you to stargaze with an expert at the Center\u2019s Amateur Astronomy Night. Village Creek State Park<\/a> Interpreter Alex Stamatis will lead visitors on a tour of the night sky from 8:30 until approximately 10:00 p.m. Learn to locate constellations and view some of the season\u2019s most fascinating celestial objects using telescopes, binoculars and the naked eye. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With assistance from Trinity National Wildlife Refuge<\/a> Biologist Laurie Gonzales and the Refuge\u2019s interns, Stamatis will also explain the impact of light pollution on observation and the environment. Visitors are encouraged to bring along flashlights, especially red-light flashlights, and join the fun on the Center\u2019s grounds at 650 FM 1011, Liberty, Texas.
