The ONU Astronomy Club invites Icon viewers to the ONU  Observatory on Friday, April 20, for our "Craters of the Moon" event, according to Dr. Jason Pinkney, observatory director.

He said: "Stop by any time between 9 and 11 p.m. to look through our telescopes or ask questions about the night sky."

On this night, the crescent Moon will be high in the southwest, well placed for view ing. The phase is a good one for seeing interesting lunar featuressuch as the double crater Messier, and Mare Tranquillitatus, where Apollo 11 landed.

Other targets  will include Venus, double stars andstar clusters.

Our events are free to the public.
