Events Description
You are invited to join our researchers to observe the dark night sky and gaze at the Milky Way for three evenings in July and August.The dark sky conditions on August 22, 23, 24 are perfect for viewing planetary nebula, globular clusters and distant galaxies. Saturn and Jupiter will all be visible for a spectacular display. Each evening we will offer a sky tour outside on our viewing terrace and point out some of the highlights of the summer sky. Milky Way Nights are special evenings at the observatory dedicated to solely observing the night sky. There will be an array of telescopes operated by University of Calgary astronomers and members of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada – Calgary Centre. You will have the opportunity to look through the telescopes, and astronomers will be on hand to answer questions.
