Public Astronomy at Lock Haven University

Planetarium Shows will be held in the Ulmer Planetarium

(Ulmer 232)

Observing Sessions will take place on the Farrandsville Road Playing fields of Lock Haven University or at Jack Stadium. The playing fields are 1.1 miles above the Jay Street Bridge on the Northeast side of the river, adjacent to the West Branch Soccer Fields.

We will use the University’s 12-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope to observe the moon, planets, stars, star clusters, stellar nurseries, stellar corpses, and galaxies.

The public is invited.
