'Scopes in the City

The Adler Planetarium brings the museum - and the universe - a little closer to you! Adler staff & volunteers will set up telescopes to observe the night sky in front of library branches. All you have to do is drop by and look up! At this event, we will be observing the Moon and Saturn. Telescope observing is weather-dependent; plans may be altered if clouds or inclement weather is forecast.
