WILLIAMS – The Coconino Astronomical Society will be holding a viewing of the night sky on Friday, March 2d between 7:30 and 9:30 pm. The viewing will be held in the vacant area across from the laundry and Rod’s Steakhouse on Railroad avenue. The viewing is free.

The Society held a viewing last month in the same location and hopes to make this a monthly event. Tourist and residents of Williams are invited to come tour the skies.

The group picked this day because the brightness of the moon will not interfere with the viewing of other heavenly bodies. The group donates their telescopes and time to interest people in the science of astronomy.
