The FMU Observatory will be open December 7, 2024, for an evening star party to view Jupiter as it will be at its closest distance to Earth. When is the event exactly?
Drop-In Time: any time between 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm
Where: FMU Observatory located behind the Center for the Child
Parking: Please use Lot D or the Center for the Child parking lots. Follow the glow stick path to the track area. It is a short walk, but it will be dark!
What will be happening?
We will have telescopes set up on the track near the Observatory. If there are additional helpers we will try and have the dome open as well. We will view Jupiter, Saturn, the Crescent Moon, and various Deep Sky Objects.
This is an outdoor event and visitors are encouraged to check weather conditions before venturing out to the University. In the case of severe weather, or completely cloudy skies, the event will be canceled.
