The free public program at Gallalee Hall starts with a talk, then moves to rooftop observing with the University of Alabama’s 16-inch telescope.
All times are local to the venue · America/Chicago
The evening’s clearest promise is its change of setting: a talk in Gallalee Hall, room 227, comes before observing at the rooftop observatory. The talk’s subject and speaker are still unannounced; the observing plan names planets and stars, with Dr. Sam Grunblatt.
The talk is scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m., but the event listing does not identify its topic or presenter. Visitors can plan for a lecture before the rooftop portion, not for a particular subject.

After the talk, the program shifts to the Gallalee Hall rooftop observatory. The Department of Physics and Astronomy’s 16-inch telescope will be used to observe planets and stars, with Dr. Sam Grunblatt named for this portion of the event.
