December 2025 Solstice Public Viewing

Join us at the Earl L. Wonnacott Observatory on the last evening before the winter solstice (which will occur on December 21). We will be making the most of the extra darkness at this time of year and pointing our telescope at various objects of interest: the moon, planets, stars, nebula, and galaxies, depending on the date and sky conditions.

In the event of cloudy weather, we may have to cancel, and we will post an update in this event.

Meet us in room 417 of Memorial Hall (location and parking information: https://projects.upei.ca/astronomy/wheres-the-telescope/). We’ll have some astronomy activities and information for a variety of ages that you can peruse while you wait for your turn to go up to the observatory.

Accessibility: You can take an elevator up to room 417, but it is necessary to climb stairs up one floor to the roof and into the observatory to reach the telescope.
