About the event

Star Parties

Jewett Observatory is our direct window on the heavens. In spring, summer, and fall, we hold public star parties, where any interested person can come to view the cosmos through the historic 12-inch Clark.

Most public evenings feature a crescent moon, star clusters, nebulae, double stars, and other surprises, but what is visible depends strongly on the weather.

All are welcome! Please dress warmly, even in summer. Clouds render all astronomical objects invisible, so do not come if you cannot see any stars out. We will also close if the air quality index exceeds 200: “very unhealthy.” All events cosponsored by the Palouse Astronomical Society.

Events are cancelled in the case of cloudy or inclement weather.
