MOSI Observe the Sky Initiative

MOSI SkyWatch: Mars in Opposition

Friday, January 10, 2025

Event

Join MOSI astronomers for a night of stargazing! This is the best time to observe Mars through a telescope as it reaches opposition! Observe Jupiter and its largest moons through telescopes, and even catch a glimpse of the International Space Station as it flies overhead at the start of our event. There will also be an activity to learn more about space in a hands-on way!

Pre-registration is required. Please visit: mosi.org/skywatch to register.

Please note: the stargazing portion is weather-dependent. In the event of inclement weather, a planetarium show will supplant naked-eye and telescopic viewing.
