Public Events at the College of Charleston Observatory
Public Open Houses are held one night per month during the academic
of the month during the acdemic year. The last Public Open House for
this year will be held Thursday, 8 May 2008. We will resume
open houses in September.
Thursday, 8 May 2008 8:00 - 10:00 PM
Weather permitting, the observatory and observing deck will be
open to the public. Enter the Rita
Liddy Hollings Science Center via
the Coming Street entrance and follow signs to the roof. If
the weather is bad, we will still have plenty of activities to
keep you educated and informed. The Society of Physics
Students will have several demonstrations set up and will be happy
to assist or entertain you. Faculty and students
will be happy to answer any questions you have about astronomy,
telescopes, and what's up in the sky this month. If you plan
to bring a large group (10 or more), or if you will need special
accommodations, please let us know ahead of time by contacting Chris True
(truec@cofc.edu, 843-953-2031).
Open-toed shoes are not permitted on the observing deck. Please
dress warmly (it can be several degrees cooler and much windier on the roof than at ground
level).
