July 12/13 Viewing — Canceled

UPDATE July 9th: Due to a couple different factors, we are canceling the viewing set for this weekend.  We apologize for any inconvenience.


The next public viewing is scheduled for Saturday, July 12 from 9:45-11:00PM. If the weather is unsuitable on that date, we will try to re-schedule the viewing on Sunday, July 13 at the same time.

This viewing is scheduled at a later hour and with a shorter duration because the sun is setting quite late as we have recently passed the summer solstice.

Everyone is welcome to attend public viewings.  To do so, meet in Memorial Hall in room 417 and you will be guided up to the observatory when it is available.  It is necessary to climb the stairs one floor up to the observatory, however the elevator can be taken up to the 4th floor before doing so.

Public viewings are co-hosted by the UPEI Physics Department and the Charlottetown Centre of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada (RASC).
