WATERTOWN — The Sci-Tech Center of Northern New York will host a telescopic observing night on Saturday.
The event begins at 8 p.m. at Thompson Park, on West Tower Drive, across from the Honor the Mountain Monument.
Highlights of this evening will be telescopic views of Jupiter and its moons, as well as spectacular views of our own moon. Saturday will also be near the peak of the Lyrid meteor shower. Although bright
moon light would normally wash out viewing of many meteors, the Lyrids are known for unusually bright meteors with long trails.
Sci-Tech staff will help guide visitors around the sky.
In the event of overcast skies, the astronomy night will be canceled, and a message to that effect will be placed on the Sci-Tech astronomy telephone line at 315-788-2738.
Meanwhile, Sci-Tech reminds the community that entries to the Children’s Eclipse Art Contest, being held in partnership with the Watertown Daily Times, should submitted by mail or hand delivered to the Watertown Daily Times, 260 Washington St.
