Here on Earth, volcanos develop as large cone-shaped mountains and typically spew molten rock from central calderas. But where else in our solar system do we find volcanic activity and what form does it take on other planetary bodies? During this program we will be observing the Moon, Mars, Venus and Saturn (beginning April 27).

The Observatory is open to the public every Friday and Saturday evening. In March, April and May our hours change each month as the days get longer so make sure you check the program start times above.
