Northwestern's Dearboarn Observatory continues to offer free
public viewings each Friday evening from 9 to 11 p.m. Visitors
will receive a brief orientation, followed by an invitation
to see stars and planets through the Observatory's historic
18.5-inch refracting telescope. Current conditions, in which
the five planets of Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn and Jupiter
are closely grouped and visible even to the naked eye, provide
for rare viewing opportunities. Everyone is welcome, but reservations
are strongly encouraged for groups and can be made by calling
(847) 491-7650. (Photo by Stephen Anzaldi)
