We will once again schedule viewings every two weeks this semester, anticipating that at least half of the events will be cancelled by cloudy weather. We’re also switching our viewing night to a weekday evening (to work around the early building lock-up that happens on weekends).

The dates and times that we’ve scheduled are below. Note that the event times shift later as the dates get closer to the spring equinox (and that the times jump an hour later in March after Daylight Saving Time begins).

• Thursday, February 1, 7:00-9:00 PM CANCELLED due to cloudy weather
• Thursday, February 15, 7:00-9:00 PM CANCELLED due to cloudy weather
• Thursday, February 29, 7:30-9:30 PM CANCELLED due to cloudy weather
• Thursday, March 14, 8:30-10:30 PM CANCELLED due to cloudy weather
• Thursday, March 28, 8:30-10:30 PM CANCELLED 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.
