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:

  • August       27   8:00 –  9:30 PM
  • September 24  7:30 – 10:00 PM
  • October     22  6:30 –  8:30 PM
  • November  19  5:30 –  7:00 PM
  • December  17  5:00 –  7:00 PM
  • January      14  5:20 –  7:30 PM

All these events are weather permitting; however, our additional presentations will be available in case of poor weather conditions.
Admission is free. Children are welcome!
