Mars NASA/Hubble Space Telescop

The University of California, Irvine, invites the public to attend Visitor Night at the UCI Observatory. Come use our telescopes to see the planets Mars and Saturn, the Orion Nebula and star clusters. Listen to a lecture entitled "The Cosmic Microwave Background: Primordial Radiation Left Over From the Big Bang".  The Observatory is located on the UCI campus. Visitors should park in the ICS/Engineering Parking Structure at the corner of E. Peltason and Anteater Drives for a $7 fee. Free shuttle buses will transport you between the Parking Structure and the gravel road to the Observatory. Shuttles will depart every 10 minutes starting a half hour before and ending a half hour after the event. Only in the unlikely event of rain will Visitor Night be canceled, and a notice will be posted on our website by 3 pm that day. To get more details or request email notices of future events, please see our web site at http://www.physics.uci.edu/~observat.

The UCI Observatory is operated by the Department of Physics & Astronomy, and Visitor Nights are funded by the School of Physical Sciences.
