Kennon Observatory, Oxford Campus
Open to the public

We are offering a viewing of the sky with our telescopes in Kennon Observatory on Nov. 10, Sunday night, 5:30-8:00 pm.

The Moon is always great; the only easy planet visible at this time is Saturn. Venus is visible right after sunset only. Neptune is always hard as it is the farthest of all planets. We’ll look at a number of double stars and the Ring Nebula, too.

The event is free, families are welcome.

Viewing is not possible when the sky is cloudy - if that happens we’ll have to cancel and ask everyone to come back Dec. 8 for another try.
