View the stars and planets through the refractor telescope at the University of Saskatchewan Observatory in Saskatoon. The observatory is open to the public, free of charge, for Saturday Open House evenings on the first and third Saturdays of every month on a drop-in basis (no reservations). On clear evenings for Saturday Open House, staff will point the telescope at seasonal objects in the sky. Planets, nebulae, star clusters, galaxies, and even comets can be viewed at the right times of the year. On cloudy nights, staff present an educational slide show depicting objects in our solar system, galaxy, and beyond. The Observatory also features a small museum with a tour of our solar system. Exhibits also highlight the history and fundamentals of astronomy, and there is even a display on black holes!
