Join the Mount St. Helens Institute, Rose City Astronomers, and Friends of Galileo Astronomy Club for dinner, music, guest speakers, hands-on activities, camping, and sky and star viewing (weather permitting). At night go on a laser guided constellation walk, use telescopes, and learn more about space (weather dependent). Camping options include tent camping in the primitive camping area, dry RV camping in the parking lot, and inside in one of the sleeping areas.
Ticket sales for this year's Sky and Star Party will go live online Monday, July 9th at 9am! In order to facilitate parking and protect everyone's night vision, advanced registration will be required for both day and overnight attendees. The event is rain or shine and admission is transferable but is not refundable.

EarthSky asks: Have aliens visited Earth? Question worthy of study, says physicist. Best ongoing conversation at EarthSky this week...
In this story, a NASA research scientist argues there's compelling evidence to justify serious scientific study of UFOs.

Annie Jones shows off:
Final day of “shipwrecked survivors” for MAP campers: Pirates stole their snacks but they followed a treasure map and tracked it down (and found other pirate booty, too!). First they had to decode picture clues, figure out their pirate names and unscramble an important message about real-life treasure. They also engaged in pirate duels and a boat building challenge. One camper had so much fun this week he said he wanted to stay on the island indefinitely! Alas, in the end all survivors made it off the island alive and well... and that’s a wrap!
