Taurid Meteors and Saturn Star Party
A November star party at Jackson Flat Reservoir near Kanab featuring Saturn, Andromeda, and Taurid meteors.
Stellar Vista Observatory's November public star party falls on November 6, 2026 at 7:00 p.m. at the Jackson Flat Reservoir boat launch parking area near Kanab. The night features Saturn, the Andromeda galaxy, and Taurid meteors, which are fewer than the summer showers but known for producing bright, slow fireballs. The observatory's star parties are free and open to everyone, and volunteers bring telescopes and binoculars. Early darkness in November means the program starts and ends earlier than the summer sessions, which makes the drive back up to Duck Creek a good deal easier.
