There is an astronomy museum here that gives public tours and has an old telescope. I got to see Jupiter and the moons and Saturn and the rings. It was really, really cool.
There’s a Leonid meteor shower tonight after midnight. It’s cloudy here in NJ, and this isn’t a great year for the Leonids, but it’s still a pretty good show if you have clear skies and don’t mind a chilly hour or so looking up at the sky.
