Observatory Open House - Check out the planets!

- This event has passed.

Have you ever wanted to view the night sky through a telescope at our observatory? Are you interested in looking at all of the planets while they are high in the night sky? This is your chance! Join us at the observatory on top of the Thompson Physics building (not the historic observatory along Rt 2) between 6 and 7pm on Saturday January 25th.
The observatory is located on the fourth floor of the Thompson Physics building, and is accessible from the eastern staircase (facing the parking lot next to the building). The elevator next to the Eco Cafe can get you to the third floor, with one remaining flight of stairs up to the observatory. The event is weather permitting; check @williamsastronomy on Instagram for last minute updates. We will mostly be using telescopes that are outside, so make sure to dress for the weather. Contact Kevin Flaherty (kmf4) with any questions.
