  1. 🌧️ Once again, the clouds are calling the shots. Wednesday night’s sky is off-limits, and the Westport Observatory will be CLOSED. Don’t worry—those stars can’t hide forever, and we’ll be back as soon as the skies clear! ✨🔭 was-ct.org/

  2. 🌥️ The clouds have spoken, and sadly they’ve voted “NO STARS tonight.” The Westport Observatory will be closed this evening 9/10—apparently the universe gave the clouds the remote control. 📺✨ was-ct.org/programs/public-vie

  7. 🔭 Observatory Closed (Again) Alert!
    Apparently, the clouds signed a long-term lease over Westport and aren’t leaving anytime soon. So once again, the WAS Weekly Wednesday Star Party is rained out.

    See you next week—unless the clouds unionize.
