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.

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

three permanently mourned

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

Moon maps, postcard.sets, solar
system cnarts and star locator
kits may be purchased from
observatory attendants.
