Early birds will be rewarded with a total lunar eclipse on the morning of Tuesday, March 3,
and—weather permitting—the Cincinnati Observatory will open early to celebrate. Join us in the
quiet hours before dawn to witness one of nature’s most spectacular sights through our historic
telescope.

Doors open at 4:30 a.m., with the partial eclipse becoming visible at 4:50 a.m. The Moon will
reach totality at 6:04 a.m., glowing a deep crimson red before setting around 7:00 a.m.

This event will take place only if skies are clear, so please check our website and Facebook
page the night before for updates. No registration is required. A suggested donation of $5 per
person is appreciated.
