It’s that time of year again, when stargazers will descend on Bryce Canyon National Park for the Annual Astronomy Festival. The festival offers so much more than guided discoveries of the night sky. The Salt Lake Astronomical Society and the University of Utah bring their telescopes to share with attendees. There are daytime activities that include solar telescopes, along with evening programs with national experts and scientists discussing the night sky and the latest discoveries and explorations. One such expert who will be in Bryce is Rob Zellem, Exoplanet Astronomer with NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope.
