Description

The Cosmic Carnival is our special annual event for “children of all ages”!  We have gathered an outstanding group of contributors who will bring their exhibits to the Open Space Visitor Center to delight and educate our guests, and we will conclude in the evening with a star party featuring the member telescopes of TAAS.  All of this is free and appropriate for “children of all ages” with high level presentations and young interactions.

Here is a list of our exhibitors at present:
*Albuquerque Rocket Society *Albuquerque Libraries *CNM*Dark-Sky International *Explora Science Center *UNM Meteoritics * NASA Solar System Ambassador *National Museum of Nuclear Science and History * NM Museum of Natural History * NM Network for Women in Science & Engineering * NOAA Weather * Planetary Science * Rio Rancho Astronomica lSociety * Santa Fe Alliance for Science (Orrery) * Santa Fe Children’s Museum * TAAS Portable Planetarium* TAAS Solar Observing

At night, we will offer a lens demonstration and a Fabulous Fifty-Fall Session in the Kiva Room (what you will look for outside with the telescopes).

The Open Space Visitor Center has hosted TAAS and the Carnival for many years and generously offers their beautiful facility (just off Coors Blvd.-note the blue spikes and brown sign) and their volunteers to prepare the exhibit locations and manage parking.

We hope you will join us for a day–and night–of learning and fun!
