January 2026 Public Viewing

We invite you to visit the Earl L. Wonnacott Observatory this winter to look through our telescope. We will be 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. We have booked two dates in January in the hope that the weather will cooperate for at least one of them.

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.
