The University of
California,
Irvine, invites the public to attend Visitor Night at the UCI
Observatory Come and use our telescopes to see the star-forming
Orion Nebula and many different star clusters. Listen to a
lecture entitled "Solar System Debris: Comets, Asteroids &
Meteoroids" by Professor Tammy
Smecker-Hane. The Observatory is located on the UCI campus.
Visitors should park in the ICS/Engineering Parking
Structure at E. Peltason and Anteater Dr. ($8 maximum).
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. Visitor Nights are free, but the suggested donation
is $5 per family. Visitor Nights are cancelled due only to rain, and if
so a notice will be posted on our website by 3 pm that
day. For additional information or to request email notices of future
events, please see our web site: 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.
