The UIS Astronomy-Physics program will host an in-person Friday Night Star Party on the PAC Patio on September 16, 8:00 - 10:00 p.m.

The PAC Patio is on the lowest level of the Sangamon Auditorium building. The patio is accessible through the Sangamon Experience display near the UIS Bookstore and the Conference Center, one level down from the main concourse of the Auditorium.
