Saturday: Open Night at the Observatory
James Guilford
Season Opener: Saturday, March 28
Stephens Memorial Observatory of Hiram College will be open to the public on Saturday, March 28, from 8:30 to 10:30 PM, beginning the Observatory's Open Nights season. On the observing list for the night are: The Moon, The Stars, and Another World. Earth's Moon, and giant planet Jupiter will be featured, and the lovely "Beehive" star cluster is in the same area of our sky.
Forecasts call for a very cold night so please dress for the temperature... the observatory dome is not heated!
Cloudy skies cancel the event in which case, the Observatory will not open!
For updated status of Open Nights, please see the Twitter feed in the left-hand column of our website or find us at:
PARKING: Please park on side streets where parking is allowed. Nearby Peckham Avenue is posted "No Parking" so don't park there! The sign is nearly illegible but the restriction is enforced. There is no parking at the Observatory. DO NOT drive into or park in neighboring driveways -- it’s inconsiderate and you may be towed!
