The Widener University Observatory
invites area teachers through the secondary level – and their family members -
to a special stargazing session using the observatory’s 16-inch computerized
reflecting telescope. The session will take place Tuesday, Nov. 12 from 7 to 8
p.m., with a rain date of Tuesday, Nov. 19.
Interested teachers can register by
calling 610-499-4003
or e-mailing tasminkey@widener.edu. This free session is
designed to give teachers an up-close look at the moon, planets and stars so
that they can later share their experience with students.
Upcoming stargazing sessions open to
the general public include Monday twilight viewings on Nov. 11, 18 and 25 from 6
to 7 p.m. and Dec. 2 and 9 from 6 to 7 p.m. in addition to a Friday night
viewing on Dec. 6 from 8 to 9 p.m.
To register for these free public
stargazing sessions, visit www.widener.edu/stargazing or call 610-499-4003. Because space
is limited, participants are encouraged to register in advance.
The Widener University Observatory
is located on the 5th floor of Kirkbride Hall on 17th and
Walnut Streets in Chester, Pa.
