5:30 PM – UPDATE: Due to current and expected poor sky conditions, this scheduled Open Night has been CANCELED. We hope to have better luck on a special night: Friday, December 15.
Stephens Memorial Observatory of Hiram College will be open for public observing Saturday, November 25, from 7:00 to 9:00 PM. Given good skies, visitors will see the stars of the Pleiades and Hyades clusters. Other objects of interest will also be viewed. Early arrivals might get a look at the Moon but neighboring trees will either block us entirely or cut viewing short!
Cloudy skies at the scheduled starting time cancel the event and in that case, the observatory will not open. No reservations are required and there is no admission fee for observatory public nights.
The Observatory is located on Wakefield Road (Rt. 82) less than a quarter of a mile west of Route 700 in Hiram. There is no parking at the Observatory. Visitors may park on permissible side streets near the Post Office, a short distance east of the observatory.
