SIDE NOTE:
The Astronomy Group within the Department of Physics and Astronomy holds monthly Public Nights. All are welcome to come view the sky through our facilities, on campus and off. Admission to Public Nights is free. Events may be cancelled in case of bad weather/cloudy conditions.
Most on-campus sessions use the 16-inch research-grade reflector (installed in January 2005) in the dome on top of Gallalee Hall, located at the northeast corner of University Blvd. and Hackberry Drive. Our calendar shows the dates for the currently scheduled Public Nights, the starting times for the programs, and the speakers.
Please pay attention to the dates; sometimes these events are held on nights other than Friday, to accommodate special events. (And occasionally, these events are held during the day.)
