The moon will be the featured celestial object at an open house in the College’s Grant O. Gale Observatory at 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 25.

Robert Cadmus, professor emeritus of physics, will lead the free, public observation. If the weather is cloudy, the program will consist of computer-imaging demonstrations and recorded views through the telescope.

The Grant O. Gale observatory is located on the north perimeter of campus, north of 10th Avenue and adjacent to Les Duke Track.

To receive notification of future observatory open houses, please contact Cadmus, 641-269-3016.

Grinnell College welcomes the participation of people with disabilities. Accommodation requests may be made to Conference Operations.

The College welcomes the presence of minors at all age-appropriate public events and for informal visits, with the understanding that a parent, legal guardian, or other responsible adult assumes full responsibility for their child’s safety and behavior during such visits or events. In these cases the College expects that an adult responsible for the visiting child takes measures to ensure the child’s safety and sees that the child complies with directions of College personnel. Grinnell College is not responsible for supervision of minors on campus.

This venue is equipped with an induction hearing loop system, which enables individuals with hearing aids set to T-Coil to hear the program.
