When you look up, what do you see?

In this bi-weekly virtual series, our Director of Public Observing Michelle Nichols and Astronomy Educator Adriana Guzman Diaz talk about what it means to observe something in the sky—and show viewers how to do it themselves!

Participants will learn how to use everyday objects to observe the Sun, the Moon, and other celestial objects; try their hand at skills such as nighttime sky photography; see whatever is visible in the sky over their neighborhoods; and find out how to use what they’ve learned to view upcoming cosmic happenings.

No tickets or reservations required to attend Sky Observers Hangout—it’s free and open to everyone! All you need is an internet connection and access to YouTube!

February 15: Live from the Doane Observatory: Stars and Mars @ 7:00 pm

CTLive from the Doane Observatory, it’s Sky Observers Hangout! In this episode, weather permitting, we’ll virtually take you into the Doane Observatory at the Adler Planetarium so you can get a behind the scenes look at our new 24-inch telescope. You’ll also get to “take a look” through the Doane telescope as we share live images of star clusters, nebulae, and Mars. Join us in looking up from the comfort and warmth of your very own couch!
