Several events are scheduled at the Ohio Northern University observatory this spring.
On Friday, March 21, from 8 to 10 p.m. is a public event titled " "Asteroids and Occultations."
The observatory website notes that on the morning of Tuesday, April 15, there will be a total lunar eclipse. No observatory event is planned because of the late hour. Totality begins around 3:06 a.m. EDT and continues until 4:24 EDT. It should be a beautiful sight, with Saturn, Mars and Spica all within 23 degrees of the Moon.
• Friday, April 18, 9-11 p.m.. - Public Event. "Mars near opposition."
Ada Public LIbrary's Reading with Rover Program begins Friday, according to Amanda Bennett, library director.
"Youth from Kindergarten through sixth grade can come and read to Snickerdoodle, a certified therapy dog! Studies show that reading to a pooch just might increase literacy in your little ones," said Bennett.
She added that the library still has three spots open for kids. Registration is required, so please call and sign-up for one of these spots:
3:30 p.m.
3:50 p.m.
4:10 p.m.
