The free, public viewing of the stars is Friday, July 15, beginning at 7 p.m. and lasting several hours. Face coverings will be required at the event. Westmont hosts viewings on the third Friday of every month in concert with members of the Santa Barbara Astronomical Unit (SBAU), who bring their own telescopes to share with the public.</excerpt><author>Scott Craig</author><image>
