 Observatory Status:
Observatory Status for Wednesday, February 1 2012

We will be open tonight.

We open 7-10PM every CLEAR Wednesday night year round. The observatory is free and open to the general public.
   
 
 Notes:
Cloudless winter nights offer crystal-clear views of the stars and planet, but dress warmly since we are open to cold night air.

Venus is visible early. Jupiter, the King of the Planets, is
visible all evening. We will also view winter highlights such as the
Andromeda galaxy, the Orion nebula, the "ET" star cluster, and planets
Uranus & Neptune.

DRESS WARM TONIGHT!
