ONU Observatory open tonight
The ONU Observatory will be open to the public from 8 until 10 p.m. tonight (Friday, March 3) when the crescent Moon will be high in the southwest to see Lunar features such as Posidonius Crater with its fissures and the area where Apollo 11 landed.
Mission commander Neil Armstrong and pilot Buzz Aldrin landed the Apollo 11 lunar module Eagle on July 20, 1969. They were the first two humans on the moon.
Other targets Friday include Venus, Mars, and deep-sky objects.
The ONU Astronomy Club welcomes people to stop by, look through the telescopes, and ask questions.
The observatory is located south of West Lincoln Avenue and east of Klingler Road
