Icon viewers are invited to the ONU Observatory on Friday, May 2, for the event called "Saturn near opposition." The event, open to the public is from 9 to 11 p.m.
Saturn actually reaches opposition on May 10, but this event takes place while the students are still on campus. During opposition, Saturn is optimally positioned for viewing: it is at its closest to the Earth and rises just as the Sun sets.
