Come see some of the marvels of the night sky through our 8-inch telescope at the UPEI observatory. Potential viewing objects include the Moon, planets, nebulae, and galaxies. Volunteers from the Charlottetown Centre of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada (RASC) and the UPEI Physics Department will be on hand to show you the sights and answer your astronomical questions. Our next viewing is scheduled from 9:45 to 11:00 pm on Saturday, June 14. Guests are asked to come to Memorial Hall Room 417. This event is weather dependent. In the event of cloudy skies requiring a cancellation, the viewing may be shifted to Sunday, June 15 at the same time (if weather permits). Updates will be provided on our website at http://physics.upei.ca/astronomy, on our voice-mail at 566-0745, or on Twitter @UPEIAstronomy. This event is free of charge and open to all members of the public. It is necessary to climb the stairs from the 4th floor up to the observatory, but an elevator can be taken up to the 4th floor.
