Upcoming Virtual Open Nights with the Nantucket Maria Mitchell Association
The Nantucket Maria Mitchell Association will be hosting two free virtual Open Night events via Zoom in November, including a special Members-Only event (November 11) and our first ever Spanish Language Open Night (November 18). Join our professional astronomers for an impressive tour of Nantucket’s night sky through a live-streamed telescope. Our astronomers will focus on bright objects, including Jupiter, Mars, and Saturn. Both events will include discussion of these planets and time for a Q&A.
The Members-Only Virtual Open Night will take place on Wednesday, November 11, from
6-7PM. In case of inclement weather, the rain date will be Thursday, November 12, from 6-7PM. Members can register for this event at mariamitchell.org or directly at:

Both events are organized by the Maria Mitchell Association, a private non-profit organization. Founded in 1902, the MMA works to preserve the legacy of Nantucket native astronomer, naturalist, librarian, and educator, Maria Mitchell. The Maria Mitchell Association operates two observatories, a natural science museum, an aquarium, a research center, and preserves the historic birthplace of Maria Mitchell. A wide variety of science and history-related programming is offered throughout the year for people of all ages.
