Shown below are events the Astronomical Society of Greenbelt has planned for 2012. Star Parties and meetings are open to the public and are free of charge. Star parties may be cancelled without notice due to inclement weather (which includes skies too cloudy for stars to be seen). Meetings will be canceled, postponed, or moved if the Prince Georges County Schools are closed due to weather.
