Darling Hill Will OPEN Tonight For Public Viewing – Friday, May 11

Greetings fellow astrophile! It is looking like a near-perfect evening for nighttime observing, so we will be opening Darling Hill around 7:30 p.m. tonight. No ISS fly-bys are predicted for the next few days, but Venus, Mars, and Saturn are prominent in our sky – Saturn being particularly brilliant at its current orientation. It is also looking to be a bit on the cool side tonight (40s?), so do consider bringing an additional layer if you’re going to be up late. We hope you can join us!
