NORTHERN PRAIRIE STAR PARTY 2024

Posted on September 3, 2024

The Northern Prairie Star Party (NPSP) will run from Tuesday, September 3 to
Sunday, September 8, 2024, with most of our group activities planned for Friday,
September 6 and Saturday, September 7. It is being held at the Black Nugget Lake
Park located about an hour’s drive from Edmonton. The campground is also the
location of our Black Nugget Lake Observatory.

This year we have ONLINE REGISTRATION for all aspects of the event, including
reserving campsites, ordering T-shirts, paying attendee fees, and signing up to
volunteer.

This year we are asking that ALL those planning to attend NPSP to PLEASE
REGISTER IN ADVANCE – this will assist with our planning. The final deadline for
registering (attendees, campsite and T-shirt) and payment is Thursday, August
15, with payment via e-transfer. The link to the NPSP registration page can be
found here: NPSP 2024 Registration Form 

RASC Edmonton Centre has booked the northern part of the campground for use by
star party event attendees – for use during the entire event. Campsites will be
allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. With a limited number of sites
with power, we encourage NPSP attendees wishing to camp overnight to book as
soon as possible. The Online Registration Form contains an updated map showing
the locations of campsites available to NPSP participants. Note that site
numbers have changed for 2024!

June 7th update: As of this date, all the powered sites have been spoken for by
registered NPSP participants. The remaining available sites are non-powered. If
you have not yet registered and need electricity for your RV you have the option
of booking a powered campsite outside the NPSP event area in Black Nugget Lake
Campground by going to their online registration page. For those who would like
to set up a telescope at the NPSP site for one or more evenings, we will be
accommodating astronomers and their equipment with a set-up area near the Black
Nugget Lake Observatory. Confirm the location of the set-up area with the NPSP
organizers at the Registration Table when you arrive.

We are pleased to let you know that Dr. Christa van Laerhoven has accepted our
invitation to be the keynote speaker on the afternoon of Saturday, September 7.
Christa is a planetary scientist and educator. She gained her Ph.D. from the
Department of Planetary Sciences at the University of Arizona, with her research
concentrating on long-term changes in the orbits of planets. Her ongoing areas
of interest include orbital dynamics – particularly the dynamics of the Kuiper
Belt and of multi-planet extra-solar systems, planetary atmospheres and Canada’s
role in the return to the Moon. Christa is currently the President of the RASC
Yukon Centre. More details on her presentation – as well as the two other
Saturday talks and other program elements – will be provided when available.
Please check back for updates. Here is a link to the 2024 Schedule (as of May
20) as well as the event Ground Rules.

If you have questions or need more information, you are welcome to get in touch
by email with the: NPSP Planning Team.
