26 July 2018 to 01 August 2018
Time: 9:30pm until 10:30pm

Astronomers at The University of Toledo are hosting Mars Watch 2018 to share the UT telescope with the public for a view of what is called opposition, the point when Mars and the sun are on directly opposite sides of the Earth as the planets orbit around the Sun.

The Brooks Observatory in McMaster Hall will be open to the public for four nights — from 9:30 to 10:30 p.m. Thursday, July 26; Monday, July 30; Tuesday, July 31; and Wednesday, Aug. 1. Visitors are invited to meet in the lobby of McMaster Hall, where they will be guided up to the observatory.

The event is dependent on clear skies. 

Admission is $2 for adults and $1 for children 5 through 12. Children 4 and younger are admitted free.
