March 2020 : By Steve Hubbard Due to the outbreak of coronavirus, Seagrave Memorial Observatory will remain closed to the public until further notice. While we feel that the overall risk is very low, this action is being taken out of an abundance of caution. Many of our volunteers who donate their time to show the public the wonders of the universe fall into the more senior, higher risk category for this disease and their protection as well as that of all of our members and visitors is our utmost concern.
