Peach State Starbase

Get ready for a celestial party the night of the winter solstice, December 21, which will also be the darkest night of the year. For the first time in 800 years, Jupiter and Saturn will appear to align and form a sight similar to the Christmas Star event that is thought to have been a planetary allignment.

Set your reminders for Thursday’s scheduled launch from Kennedy Space Center.

Tomorrow's trip will include Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral, so be sure to sign up at camp.com the cost is FREE and is for ages 2-12! Looks like fun.... https://youtu.be/HpNYd5HDGgI
