Kennon Observatory, Oxford Campus
Open to the public

We are offering a viewing of the sky with out telescopes in Kennon Observatory on Feb. 6, Sunday night, 6:00-7:30 pm.

We’ll be looking at the Moon. The half-Moon is always great!

Uranus is tiny and dim in the telescope.

We’ll look at the Pleades and the Orion nebula.

The event is free, families are welcome. We ask visitors to have masks handy, and put them on when indoors or when many people congregate in a small area.

Viewing is not possible when the sky is cloudy - if that happens we’ll have to cancel and ask everyone to come back in exact 4 weeks for another try.
