STAR GAZING & MORE AT NASA'S GLENN RESEARCH CENTER

Media representatives are invited to attend NASA Glenn Research 
Center's "Star Gazing & More" event on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 11

opportunity to learn more about the wonders of the universe and 
NASA's plans for traveling to the moon, Mars and beyond while 
celebrating National Astronomy Day.

The event will feature day and nighttime telescope viewing, auditorium 
presentations, a tour of Glenn's Hangar, hands-on educational 
activities and the Vision for Space Exploration Experience at its 
first stop in Ohio.

"Star Gazing & More" is presented in partnership with Lake Erie Nature 
& Science Center's Walter R. Schuele Planetarium and the Cuyahoga 
Astronomical Association. 

Media representatives interested in covering the event should contact 
Sallie Keith at 216-433-5795 or 216-308-0801 (cell) to arrange access 
through the center's main gate. Parking for the general public will
