UPDATE (4:10PM Oct. 12): With the forecast calling for the clouds to stay until late tonight, the observation conditions don’t look good so the viewing is cancelled.

We’re going to look into possibly booking another viewing in the next few weeks; so please check this site for a post on that later this week.

UPDATE (5:30PM Oct. 8): The sky has clouded over and it’s supposed to get cloudier, so we have to cancel the viewing. We will try again at our back-up date of Wednesday, October 12 from 8:00-9:30PM.

2016 International Observe the Moon Night (IOMN) is Saturday, October 8 so we will hold a public viewing at our observatory from 8:00PM to 9:30PM.

Our observatory is on the rooftop of UPEI’s Memorial Hall, but we ask that you come first to room 417 to wait for your turn to go up to the telescope. Volunteers from local astronomy groups and UPEI Physics will have information about the Moon and answer any questions for you while you wait.

It is necessary to climb a flight of stairs to reach the telescope, but the elevator can be taken up to the waiting room.

In the evening hours, campus parking lots are free, with parking lots B and C being the nearest lots to Memorial Hall.

If the weather is cloudy and we cannot view the Moon, the event will have to be cancelled. Our back-up date is Wednesday, October 12, from 8:00PM to 9:30PM.
