Astronomy experts Jay Lawson and Adam Kremers will have telescopes set up to view Jupiter, Mars, Saturn and other objects in the night sky during a Summer Solstice Astronomy Party.

The June 21 event from 8:30-10:30pm is at Washoe Lake State Park at the maze-playground parking area. The park is off Highway 395 between Reno and Carson City.

There is no charge for the program, but there is a $7/vehicle entrance fee. Nevada residents receive a $2 discount.

Red lights, or flashlights wrapped in red plastic, are recommended, as they do not negatively affect night vision. Participants may want to bring a lawn chair, or something to sit on.
