Catch a falling star

Everyone commenting on this post should receive a CC token!

The old Perry Como song talks of putting a star in your pocket, and while you will not be able to do that, you can arrange to visit the Dearborn Observatory and view the stars!

Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket Never let it fade away Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket Save it for a rainy day
Dearborn Observatory is located on the Evanston campus of Northwestern University. There are free public viewings on Friday evenings where you can stop in and do a little star watching.

The observatory was originally constructed in 1888.

The Observatory is open to the public for viewing with the historic 18.5" refracting telescope every Friday night from 9:00 - 11:00 PM Rain or Shine! But of course, clear nights are better for viewing!

Im trying now this CC
@janton(71)· 2501d
Howdy Melinda! Very interesting indeed! I assume they let people look through it too but it's mostly for viewing stars at night I'd think.
@nelinoeva(75)· 2501d
My dream is to visit an observatory and to be able to look at the sky with bigger telescope than mine. I love to watch the sky and despite the light polution I am happy to see Jupiter and Saturn from home. But I would be thrilled to see more.
@fotosdenada(67)· 2501d
That sounds like fun. I suppose you can't hook your camera up to it like a big lens? lol
@thesobuz(63)· 2501d
Good to know , thanks for sharing with us
@jacey.boldart(73)· 2501d
I would love to look at some stars through a grand telescope like this !
@myrockandocean(57)· 2501d
Wow! Does the moon look bigger with that massive telescope, even though when it’s shrinking into a new moon? 🌙
@keithboone(68)· 2501d
Oh, how I would like a telescope like that! I used to have a nice 4-inch refractor, but this thing is 19 inches... that would be awesome!
@kaminchan(76)· 2501d
Wow! How nice to have this observatory nearby so that you could drop by to say hello to your favourite stars or to flag some UFOs!
@kamrunnahar(67)· 2501d
Nice view of falling star photography.
@pixelfan(74)· 2501d
