Icon viewers are invited to the ONU Observatory in Ada on Friday, May 2, for the event called "Saturn near opposition." The event, which is open to the public, is from 9 to 11 p.m.

Saturn actually reaches opposition on May 10, but this event takes place while the students are still on campus. During opposition, Saturn is optimally positioned for viewing: it is at its closest to the Earth and rises just as the Sun sets.
