Open to the public

We are offering a viewing of the sky with out telescopes in Kennon Observatory on Jan. 29, Sunday night, 5:45-7:30 pm.

Jupiter and Mars are bright; Uranus can also be seen. We can also see the Pleaiades and the double star Castor, as well as the Orion Nebula.

The event is free, families are welcome.

We’ll also have a public lecture at 6:30 pm, entitled “Why doesn’t the Moon crash into the Earth?” (rain or shine).

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.
