Cancelled - March Astronomy Night

  • Niabi Zoo 13010 Niabi Zoo Rd Coal Valley, IL, 61240 United States (map)

Cancelled - due to corona virus restrictions.

Sunset at 7:11 pm. The Moon is in an ideal position to view. Other objects include the fabulous Orion Nebula, the Double Cluster in Perseus, the beautiful double star Gamma Andromedae, the Beehive star cluster in Cancer, and the Pleiades star cluster in Taurus. All make for interesting objects to observe. The planet Uranus will make an appearance early in the evening right after sunset, though a telescope will be needed to view it. Though Mars has receded from its close approach last year, it will still be a nice naked eye and telescopic object.

Later Event: April 17
