The October Open House will be this week from 8-11 PM on Friday, October 9th at the Campus Observatory (901 S Mathews Ave, Urbana, IL 61801). We will be observing both up in the dome and in the backyard(weather permitting), sky tours, a guest speaker, and the antique room open. ANYONE is welcome to come, so tell all your friends about it! Construction on the Observatory is still underway, but it should not interfere with our activities at all this Friday. Also, at the Open House this Friday, POINT will have a station set up. They will have several VR headsets with an interactive demonstration they developed to help teach different concepts in astrophysics and general relativity!
