Stephens Memorial Observatory of Hiram College will be open Saturday, May 10, from 8-11 p.m. for an Open House followed by stargazing in observance of National Astronomy Day. The Moon and Saturn will be our targets for observation. No reservations are required and there is no admission fee. Cloudy skies at the starting time cancel the event and, in that case, the observatory will not open. The observatory is located on Wakefield Road (Rt. 82) west of Route 700 in Hiram. There is no parking at the Observatory. Visitors may park on side streets or in the nearby parking lot of Harrison's Hideaway Gift Shoppe, 6821 Wakefield Road, just a couple of hundred feet east of the observatory.
