The biggest attractions of the evening will be the beautiful ringed planet Saturn. The telescope will reveal the beauties of Saturn's rings, activities in the clouds of stormy Jupiter, and craters on the moon. All phenomena visible will be explained in detail by a UNL astronomer.

Parking is available on the roof of the garage near the observatory.
The observatory will not be open if the sky is totally cloudy. The March public night will be on Friday, March 2.
