UCR hosts public viewing of coming astronomy treat <\/p>\n
Astronomy enthusiasts are in for a treat in the coming week. <\/p>\n
On Friday, Jan. 23, the public is invited to see a triple moon transit that will cast shadows over Jupiters atmosphere from 8:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. a type of event that happens only twice in a decade, on average. Moons Callisto, Io and Europa will transit in front of Jupiter, casting their shadows onto the upper atmosphere of the giant gaseous planet. <\/p>\n
The viewing for this event will take place on the lawn south of Pierce Hall, a short walk from the bell tower. <\/p>\n
UC Riverside astronomers will be available at both viewings to discuss the phenomena (in English, Spanish and Farsi). <\/p>\n
