On hand for the evening of stargazing was the Astronomical Association of Arizona and Rick Gutridge of Peoria-based Technical Research & Engineering Co., which provided tours of the solar system via a spaceflight simulator for STEM education. Participants also had the chance to sharpen their astrophotography skills.
