Event's Going On

As per Kevin's request (thanks for the suggestion, Kevin!) Here's a list of events that will be happening at Rolnick Observatory in Westport, CT. This is the observatory I am a member of, so I can speak best on :-)

For many of the events, you have to be a member (it's only $25 for students a year!), and after a year, you get keys to the observatory. After two classes to teach you how to use the telescopes, you get the keys and can go to the observatory whenever you want! It's a great investment for anyone interested, but I'd recommend visiting a few times before going.

Public nights are every Wednesday (so unfortunately, we're in class), but once class is over, you can go from about 8PM - 10:00 PM. 

On Saturday, April 30 - it's the last quarter of the moon at 3:29 AM
On Friday, May 6 - it's a new moon at 7:30 PM (this makes for great pics!)
On Friday, May 13, it's the first quarter at 5:02 PM
On Saturday, May 21  - we're back to a full moon
On Sunday, May 29 - we're at the last quarter

Coolest Events happening soon!!

• On May 9 - The Transit of Mercury will be visible from the Rolnick Observatory from 7:14 AM - 2:20 PM!
• On August 21, 2017 The great American Solar Eclipse will be visible, but not completely!
