The Keystone College Thomas G. Cupillari ’60 Observatory programs offer an observation of the night sky through the telescopes. The scheduled programs are provided as a community service and are free of charge. No registration required.
Spring sessions begin on Wednesday, March 18 from 8–10 p.m. and will continue each Wednesday and Friday evening through May 22.
Following a brief talk which changes weekly, participants will be able to observe the moon, planets, star clusters, nebulae, galaxies, and the Milky Way through telescopes.
The sessions will be held outdoors and in unheated buildings and visitors should dress accordingly. The sessions will be held on both cloudy or clear nights and will only be canceled due to severe weather. Visitors should check the weather before traveling to the Observatory.
Groups: Monday evenings are reserved for groups of 20 or more, such as school classes, scouts, and community organizations. For more information or to make group arrangements, contact Jo-Ann Kamichitis at 570-945-8402 or email observatory@keystone.edu
