Check out the Stars! A stargazing event outside the Robertson Library!

Robertson Library and the UPEI Department of Physics are celebrating Science Literacy Week, September 17 to 23, by co-sponsoring a stargazing event on Sunday, September 23 at 8:30 pm.

Megan Glover, UPEI Department of Physics, will give a presentation on navigating the night sky and how to set up and use the Library’s Dobsonian telescope. You will discover how to find objects in the sky using star maps and learn stargazing tips! In the case of a rainy or cloudy evening, the presentation will be held inside Robertson Library.

Check out the stars @ home! You can borrow the telescope from the Service Desk in the Robertson Library with your UPEI Campus Card. The telescope can be borrowed on a 7 day loan.
