The Stull Observatory at Alfred University is open to the public, free of charge, from 10 p.m.-midnight Thursdays during July, weather permitting.

Dr. David Toot, professor of physics and director of the Stull Observatory, says that if the evenings are clear, visitors will be able to view the moon, planets, clusters and more astral bodies through one of the eight telescopes at the Observatory.

Reservations are not required, but larger groups are asked to call 607.871.2208 between 8 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. weekdays to coordinate timing.

The observatory is located on the southeast corner of the AU campus.
