A family-friendly event open to the general public free of charge. Great for all ages! Open houses typically feature a short presentation, a tour of the observatory, and telescope viewing opportunities. Note: Open House will take place regardless of the weather. However please be aware that cloud cover, storms in the area, high humidity, and other circumstances beyond our control may impact viewing conditions, or preclude astronomical observations altogether. In this case, the presentation and tour of the observatory will still take place, and it is still a great opportunity to meet local astronomy enthusiasts and learn about the exciting world of astronomy.

The full Moon on Thursday, October 17, 2024, is known by its nickname, the Hunter’s Moon—it appears low and large on the horizon. This year, it’s also the biggest and brightest Supermoon—so that should be quite a sight! Th Hunter‘s Moon will be below the horizon, so wait until sunset to watch it rise and take its place in the sky. Like September’s Harvest Moon, the Hunter’s Moon rises around the same time for several nights, bringing early light to aid harvesting and hunting.
