Current Astronomical Events
-
Atlas Comet- We are currently not holding special viewing for the comet. How to view the comet. Those hoping to spot the comet should venture outside about an hour after sunset on a clear night and look to the west. The comet should be visible from both the northern and southern hemispheres. You may catch a glimpse before October 26th.
-
Mini Moon or Asteroid 2024 PT5- This asteroid is only 33 feet long and 9 times farther away than our moon. It is too far to see with the naked eye. And only very large telescopes can view it.
