Ithaca College

The physics department will host a night sky viewing at Clinton B. Ford Observatory on Friday, March 20, from 8:00 to 10:00 p.m. This event is open to the public.

If you are a supervisor whose employees do not have access to this message, please post and distribute.

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. Our web page and the recorded message at the observatory will be updated shortly thereafter to reflect the decision for that evening. So if you check our site 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.
