MONDAY TWILIGHT SESSIONS - HELD WEEKLY

Monday evening sessions are held each week, weather permitting, during the Fall and Spring semesters (see schedule below). The start time for Monday sessions is determined by the approximate end of twilight for that time of year. 

Each session is one hour, although visitors need not stay for the entire period. Reservations are not required, but are requested, so that we know how many people to expect. And we can inform you if the Widener Observatory is closed due to inclement weather.

We request that prospective visitors fill out a brief information form and sign up for one or more sessions of their choice.  *Note:  You may encounter a warning notice about the website security certificate when attempting to register.  We are in the process of transferring the registration forms to a new server, so please ignore the warning and just continue to access the form.
