The monthly Skyscrapers Meeting shines a spotlight on Maria Mitchell, recognized as America's first woman astronomer. If you have ever been to Nantucket, you may have been to her observatory near her birthplace.
Weather does not look ideal for star gazing this weekend, and the Seagrave Memoral Observatory has already canceled their viewing for Saturday but keep in mind:
Did you know there are (at least) three observatories open to the public in Rhode Island? The Ladd Observatory of Brown University, located at Hope St & Doyle Ave in Providence is open Tuesdays, weather permitting. On Fridays, see the stars at Frosty Drew in Ninigret Park, Charlestown, and on Saturdays, go out to North Scituate to the Seagrave Memorial Observatory.
See What Grows On in Rhode Island for hours, and links to these observatories.
