Rooftop Viewing Returns!

Rooftop Viewing Returns!

August 31, 2023

Time to hit the roof! After some spiffing up we’re ready for the return of Nielsen rooftop public viewing on the first and third Fridays of every month (weather permitting). Join us this Friday, September 1, at 9:30 PM, when we’ll be looking at Saturn, deep-sky objects, and the moon. We are located on the The Hill off Cumberland Avenue between 13th Street and Phillip Fulmer Way. Parking is available in the Volunteer Hall Parking Garage on White Avenue. (Some handicapped parking is available in front of the Nielsen Physics Building.) (Photo courtesy of Paul Lewis.)
