The clouds called dibs on the sky tonight, 4/15... Our observatory will be socked in, so the stars are taking a well-deserved night off! No worries — the universe will still be there next week. Come find us at our next WAS Weekly Wednesday Star Party!

Artemis II Watch Party — TONIGHT at Westport Observatory! Clouds are socking in our Weekly Wednesday Star Party, but we're trading eyepieces for something better — a rocket headed to the Moon! Artemis II lifts off at 6:24 PM ET, the first crewed lunar mission since 1972. Classroom opens at 5:30 PM. See you there!

Artemis II Watch Party — Tuesday, April 1 at 5:30 PM, Westport Observatory!
For the first time since Apollo 17 in 1972, humans are heading to the Moon. NASA's Artemis II crew lifts off at 6:24 PM ET on a 10-day journey — the critical step toward a lunar landing in 2028. Join us for live coverage starting nearly an hour before liftoff. Don't miss it!

🌥️ Star Party Update – March 4th
The Westport Observatory is socked in with clouds again tonight, so we're calling off this week's WAS Weekly Wednesday Star Party. Mother Nature had other plans!
We hope the skies cooperate next week — clear skies and great views are worth the wait.
See you next Wednesday! https://was-ct.org/

Snow, snow… and yep, more snow. We finally dug out from the latest “Storm of the Century (This Week Edition)” just in time for another coating. Add clouds tonight and that’s a wrap.
The Westport Observatory is closed this evening, 2/25, for the WAS Weekly Wednesday Star Party.
Let’s try this again next week. https://was-ct.org/

Live at the Westport Observatory Tonight – 2/17!
We’re welcoming Columbia University astrophysicist Yue Yu to the WAS classroom for a deep dive into frontier physics and the big questions still haunting the universe. Dark matter, next-gen experiments, and the kind of science that keeps theorists up at night.
