You’re invited to the next public night at Cronyn Observatory! 

Saturn reaches opposition this weekend (Sep 20-21) – the time when Earth passes directly between the Sun and Saturn, bringing this ringed giant closer to us and making it appear at its brightest. Join us on Sep 20, 8:00 to 10:00 pm as Samantha Lambier explores Saturn and its fascinating moons, explaining what opposition means for stargazers and sharing discoveries about this iconic planet and its satellites like Titan and Enceladus. 🪐

If the skies are clear, we’ll have our telescopes ready for night sky observing. Engage with expert astronomers and ask your burning questions – this event is perfect for anyone interested in the wonders of the night sky, whether you’re a seasoned astronomer or just starting out. 🌟

Admission is completely FREE and open to all. No registration required! Drop by to add a spark of celestial magic to your evening – ideal for a unique night out, a memorable date, or a family adventure.
