A telescope can now be borrowed from the library to watch the night sky at home. It is a gift of the Aldrich Astronomical Society, Inc and can be borrowed free of charge with a valid library card for 2 weeks. Instructions and guide to the sky are included. The telescope can be reserved in advance and weighs only 14 pounds. It is powerful enough to view the Rings of Saturn, the Galilean moons and nearby star clusters.
