Astronomy Open House

In the
Kennon Observatory
at the
University of Mississippi

 

 

We offer astronomy open houses that are centered around viewings with our telescopes. We view the Moon, the planets, as well as double stars, though what we can see varies each month, depending on what is visible in the night sky during each scheduled open house. We are also planning to schedule additional astronomy themed presentations.

The current schedule is:

  • January      25  5:30 – 7:00 PM
  • February     22  6:00 – 7:30 PM
  • March         29  7:30 – 9:00 PM
  • April           26  7:45 – 9:00 PM
  • May            24  8:15 – 9:30 PM

  • October      18  6:30 – 7:30 PM
  • November   15  5:00 – 6:30 PM

All these events are weather permitting; however, our additional presentations will be available in case of poor weather conditions.
