Moraine Valley Community College will continue to host its series of telescope open viewing nights in 2009, which is the International Year of Astronomy. Dates and times for this season’s open viewings include the following Fridays:
- August 28 at 7:45 p.m.
- September 25 at 6:45 p.m.
- October 23 at 6 p.m.
Viewings will be canceled if the sky is cloudy.
All open viewings are held at the telescope dome on the G. Jack Bradley Observation Deck, located on the west side of the college’s Nature Study Area, off Kean Avenue near 107th Street. Observers are asked to park near the college’s tennis courts and then walk on the path through the nature study area to the observation deck. Children not accompanied by an adult or supervisor will be turned away.
Because of the outdoor location of the telescope, observers are reminded to dress appropriately for the weather and bring binoculars if they have them.
For more information call Maura Vizza, Moraine Valley public relations generalist, at (708) 974-5742, e-mail VizzaM@morainevalley.edu, or visit morainevalley.edu/naturestudy/events.htm on the Web.
