Thanks for coming to our Open House on Dec 13, 2013! We saw a fair number of meteors, Jupiter, its moons and its Great Red Spot, and even a glimpse of the fast-moving asteroid Toutatis.

Check out our guide to the evening, which includes a short animation of the asteroid.

Our next Open House will be in the spring, once the weather has grown warmer and less cloudy. Check for an update in April. See you then!
