Telescopes & Planetarium Open House

Written by: Emily Shaffer on Wednesday, March 1st, 2023

Too cold to check out the night sky at Cherry Springs State Park? Mansfield University has a solution for you!

Head to Strait Planetarium, part of the Grant Science Center, from 7-8:30 PM on March 10 to explore the winter night sky, Orion’s Belt, and distant galaxies at no cost to you! This event is great for all ages, and you’ll even have the opportunity before and after the event to use the University’s telescopes to take a closer look at the planetary lineup of Saturn, Venus, and Mars. Make sure to get a campus map before you head out!

Wanting to make a weekend out of the event? We’ve got plenty of rentals in the area to help you out!
