Public Skyviewing at the Weiskopf Observatory
December 30, 2023 @ 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm
View distant wonders in the night skies.
The J. Weiskopf Observatory, with its 11” Celestron reflecting telescope, is available for public viewing and special programs. During the weekly FREE public viewing sessions, experienced staff guide you through the night skies. Visitors see the planets, the moon, and fainter objects in the sky.
Special events and programs are offered as amazing events occur in our skies, like meteor showers, solar and lunar eclipses, and when a planet is easily visible.
Observatory Hours
The time changes with the seasons! The rule of thumb is that the observatory is open for skyviewing every Saturday (all year round)–Opens 1/2 hour after sunset and closes 3 hours after sunset. The time of this event is a guestimate as listed here.
