Join Internet Law & Policy Foundry Fellows and Members on the first annual Foundry Star Party on Friday, June 10, 2016 in Washington, D.C. This event coincides with Hofstra University’s “Seventh Annual Astronomy Festival” on the National Mall where 20 optical and radio telescopes are available to look to the skies.
The Foundry Star Party will begin with happy hour at Elephant & Castle (1201 Pennsylvania Avenue). We will head over to the Astronomy Festival together and go through the various celestial viewings on the mall — starting with sun spots and finishing with viewings of Moon, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. We will wrap up the evening at Old Ebbitt Grill. Everyone is welcome to stop by to see the stars and talk about the final frontier.
