We are offering a viewing of the sky with out telescopes in Kennon Observatory on Jan. 9, Sunday night, 5:30-7:30 pm.

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

Early arrivals may be able to catch Saturn, which sets before 7 pm.

Jupiter is great.

We’ll look at the Pleades and the Orion nebula after the bright planets are gone. Uranus and Neptune are both visible, but they are tiny in the telescope - being far away.

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.
