The next public event at the Earl L. Wonnacott Observatory is scheduled for Thursday, November 7, 7:30-9:30 pm. The Department of Physics invites you to come look through our telescope at the moon, planets, stars, or nebulae. Meet us in room 417 of Memorial Hall. We’ll have some astronomy activities and information for a variety of ages that you can peruse while you wait for your turn to go up to the observatory. You can take an elevator up to room 417, but it is necessary to climb stairs up one floor to the roof and into the observatory to reach the telescope.

This event is weather-dependent; in the event of cloudy weather, it will have to be cancelled. Visit our website (https://projects.upei.ca/astronomy/) on Thursday morning to see the event status.
