On Thursday (April 17) the JMU depart of Physics & Astronomy will be hosting a star gaze (8:30-10:00pm) at the JMU astronomy park to welcome Saturn back to the evening skies, which is currently in the constellation Leo whose rings are nearly edge-on. This phenomenon only happens every 15 years. We'll have two 10-inch ...telescopes set up as well as several pairs of binoculars available. We encourage students, staff, as well as the general public to attend. Feel free to bring your own binoculars, or even small telescopes. The weather for Friday night should be clear.Read More
