Come and enjoy views of the moon, planets, star clusters and galaxies through the University's computer-controlled telescope. Descriptions will be given of the objects being observed. Dates above followed by "SARA Observing" will include a public demonstration of the SARA telescope. The telescope, located in southern Arizona, will be operated remotely from room 224 in Neils Science Center following the Observatory Open House (9:30 - 10:30 p.m.). All events are free, and all are welcome.

(Groups should make advance arrangements by calling (219) 464-5369.)

Call (219) 464-5202 after 5 p.m. on these dates to confirm if the weather is clear enough for the Observatory to open. If the Observatory is not open due to cloudy skies, there will be a planetarium presentation at the Neils Science Center.

The Observatory is located on the southeast corner of campus, between Gellersen Center and US 30.
