Kennon Observatory, Oxford Campus
Open to the public

We are offering a viewing of the sky with our telescopes in Kennon Observatory on Feb. 18, Sunday night, 6:00-7:00 pm.

The Moon is always great. Jupiter is the largest planet; we may also look at the Pleiades, Uranus, and perhaps Castor, Rigel, and the Orion Nebula.

The event is free, families are welcome.

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.
