Description
Haverford College is one of eight Philadelphia area institutions participating in a program to celebrate the International Year of Astronomy!
We call it "No Night without a Telescope," because there will be an astronomy event available EVERY NIGHT in the Philadelphia area for an entire lunar cycle (month) from October 18 to November 24. Whenever the weather is clear, in addition to an astronomy talk or slide show, we will have our telescopes open to the public. Kids are welcome!
Dress warmly – our telescopes are outdoors!
