Star Party Canceled
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Thursday, April 7, 2016
STEPHENVILLE, Texas—Tarleton State University’s annual Spring Star Party set for Friday, April 8, at the school’s Hunewell Ranch observatory is canceled due to increased cloud coverage. Weather forecasters predict 50- to 60-percent cover for the evening.
Larry Barr, manager of the Tarleton planetarium and observatory, said anything more than a 30-percent cloud cover makes star gazing difficult.
The annual event will be rescheduled for the fall.
