Open Nights
Upcoming viewing highlights
Upcoming Public Viewing Open Nights in the Observatory:
Date - Start Time
May 3 - 8:30 pm - Jupiter, Saturn (last Open Night of the Spring Semester)
Closed during Summer break until September
We will meet first in the old science center auditorium (on Howard St., just off Taunton Rd) for a slide show before proceeding to the new observatory. There is parking on the right just past the entrance. Check back to this page for an updated weekly schedule. The Friday Observatory Open Night event is free of charge.
Groups
The Observatory welcomes pre-scheduled small groups to visit our facilities on public viewing nights. We ask that all groups larger than 10 arrange their visits to the observatory so that we can manage the number of visitors to our program. Families and smaller groups are welcome at all times and do not need to make prior arrangements.
