The Emil Buehler Planetarium at Seminole State College of Florida in Sanford has joined with the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory for a nationwide livestreamed star party to take place this weekend.

This unique, one-of-a-kind event will take place across multiple time zones on May 22, and give participants a deeper look at the stars from different spots across the country. Astronomers, both backyard and professional, will get a tour of the cosmos with the Nationwide Livestream Star Party.
