This fall, we are going to try scheduling a viewing approximately every two weeks, with the expectation that cloudy weather will likely force us to cancel half of the events. We have used this strategy in recent years for our summer solar viewings with reasonable success; now we’ll see how it works with PEI fall weather!
- Saturday, November 4, 7:00-9:00 PM – a challenging viewing with patchy clouds, but 44 guests got to view Jupiter and its 4 largest moons.
Saturday, November 18, 6:30-8:30 PMCANCELLED (due to cloudy weather)Saturday, December 2, 6:30-8:30 PMCANCELLED (due to cloudy weather)Thursday, December 21 (the winter solstice), 6:00-8:00 PMCANCELLED (due to cloudy weather)
In the event of cloudy weather, this post will be updated to indicate if an event is cancelled.
If you’re coming to our event, meet us in room 417 of Memorial Hall. We’ll have some astronomy activities and information for a variety of ages that you can peruse while you wait for your turn to go up to the observatory.
Accessibility: You can take an elevator up to room 417, but it is necessary to climb stairs from there up to the roof and into the observatory to reach the telescope.
