TEXAS NIGHT SKY FESTIVAL 2019
The Texas Night Sky Festival took place on Saturday March 30 at the Dripping Springs Ranch Park Event Center. Science displays, indoor planetariums, story-telling, vendor booths, and fun prevailed despite the weather casting a chill and cloud cover preventing the use of the outdoor telescopes.
The festival seeks to increase appreciation of the night sky and the effects of light pollution on certain species of animals and insects. The event was sponsored by the City of Dripping Springs, The International Dark-Sky Association (IDA) Texas, and the Hays County Chapter of Texas Master Naturalist.
