PITTSFIELD — The Pittsfield Public Library will host a star party on the library lawn Thursday, July 12. The library telescope will be set up for viewing at 8:30 p.m.; come after dark for the best view of the night sky.

Astronomy experts David Kenney and Ron Thompson from Southern Maine Astronomers will show how to look through the telescope. For the best viewing experience, bring bug-spray, binoculars, flashlights, and lawn chairs. The telescope is available for check-out from the library.
