UPDATE (2:20PM, Dec. 6): Another cloudy day! Our viewing will again have to be cancelled.

Examinations start at the university tomorrow and then the holiday period will begin. So our next attempt at a public viewing will be in 2017.

—————————————————————————————————————–

Our next public viewing at our telescope will be Tuesday, December 6, from 8:00-9:00PM. You may also attend between 7:00-8:00PM, but priority in accessing the telescope during that time will be given to a children’s group that has arranged to attend (so that just means you might have to wait a bit).

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 4th floor 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 sky, the event will have to be cancelled.
