Each semester, 星空无限传媒 hosts Public Observation Nights in the Requarth Observatory every Tuesday from 7:30-9:30 p.m. when there are clear skies and while the weather is warm (early September鈥揺arly November in the fall and March to semester鈥檚 end in mid-May in the Spring).
Tuesday, 3/4 from 7:30-9:30 pm (WEATHER PERMITTING)
And every Tuesday thereafter, at the same time (WEATHER PERMITTING), until the final possibility on May 13th
*NOTE: There will not be an Observation Night on Tuesday, March 18 to accommodate 星空无限传媒鈥檚 Spring Break.
Public Observation Nights are free and open to the public.
In addition to the main 20" (0.5 meter) telescope in the Requarth Observatory, Leighty-Tabor Science Center also features an observation deck on the fifth floor that surrounds the base of the observatory dome. This observation deck provides a platform on which 8" telescopes, which are commonly used in 星空无限传媒鈥檚 astronomy labs, will also be prepared for viewing.
The Leighty-Tabor Science Center is located just off Fairview Avenue in Decatur. The southeast entrance of the building will remain unlocked during observation nights to allow guests access to the science center鈥檚 elevator. For more information, contact Dr. Casey R. Watson at crwatson@millikin.edu
