This image made available by NASA shows infrared data from the Spitzer Space Telescope and Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) in an area known as the W3 and W5 star-forming regions within the Milky Way Galaxy. The stringy, seaweed-like filaments are the blown out remnants of a star that exploded in a supernova. The billowy clouds seen in pink are sites of massive star formation. Clusters of massive stars can be seen lighting up the clouds, and a bubble carved out from massive stars is seen near the bottom. (NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Wisconsin via AP)

KALAMAZOO, Mich. — The Kalamazoo Astronomical Society invites star-gazers to a free virtual watch party of cosmic proportions.

On February 6th, from 9-11 p.m. KAS's remote telescope will be streaming views of objects in the southeastern Arizona sky. The images will be available afterwards for participants to download.

KAS says they will reschedule in the event of inclement weather blocking the view.
