David Belch OBSERVE from Page 7 Awareness and interest about astronomy is rising but the volun teers want to make sure people gel the most up-to-date information, Dunn said. Saturday night’s observations were chosen to illustrate the mas sive differences in distance be tween what can be viewed by the observatory’s three telescopes. The telescopes were focused on Sat urn, two light hours away, the double star system, 400 light years away and the light from the ring nebula traveling thousands of light years before it reaches the Earth, Dunn said. “We want to help the public by telling them when and where to look for interesting objects,” Dunn said. Hyde offers information By Connie L. Sheehan Staff Reporter_ From September through May, the Hyde Memorial Obser vatory, located in Holmes Park, is open from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday. The June through August summer hours run from sundown to 11 p.m. Admission is free. The observatory provides three permanently mourned telescopes for viewing. While two of the telescopes were commercially built, the third telescope was designed and built by members of the Prairie Astronomy Club of Lincoln. A movable roof, mounted on rails, covers the observing area. Rolling the roof aside exposes the observation area to the eve - ning sky. Appropriate clothing ana insect repellent may be needed since the observation area is open to the outside. Monthly constellation charts, lists of special objects for view ing and fact sheets are available in the lecture area Visitors also can view video presentations. Moon maps, postcard.sets, solar system cnarts and star locator kits may be purchased from observatory attendants. \ _ 1 Are You Losing g Money On Your I Checking Account?
