***Tonight's Ford Observatory public night has been canceled due to the weather.***
View the universe through the Clinton B. Ford Observatory telescope on Friday, December 14, from 8:00 to 10:00 p.m. -- weather permitting, of course.
Attending a Public Night
To attend a public night, just show up in front of the Park School building (O lot entrance). A shuttle van will make regular runs to convey people up to the observatory and back down. There is no parking available up at the observatory. The access road is NOT lighted, so please do not walk up.
Bad Weather Plan
The "go/no-go" decision for any public night will be made at 3:30 p.m. on the scheduled date. This page and the recorded message at the observatory will be updated shortly thereafter to reflect the decision for that evening. So if you reload the observatory website, or call the observatory at 274-3012 after about 4:00 p.m. (to give me time to update things), you will get the final decision for that evening.
