Due to Daylight Savings Time in Indiana, the sky is not dark enough for observing with the telescope until late in the evening.  We have scheduled the Open Night hours as early as we can and still have the sky dark enough to view with the Kirkwood telescope.

The complete open house schedule is now located on the IU/Astronomy Events Calendar.

NOTE: Blue squares on the "Cloud Cover" row indicate clear skies.
