Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, March 16, 2015

What a way to celebrate the arrival of spring.

The ONU Observatory will be open to the public from 9 - 11 p.m. on Friday, March 20, to celebrate the Spring Equinox and a new moon, according to Dr. Jason Pinkney, manger of the observatory.

"The spring, or vernal equinox is the start of spring and it is marked by the northward passage of the Sun across the celestial equator," said Pinkney. "There also happens to be a total solar eclipse on this day, but it will not be visible from the United States."

ONU students make a spring habit with Habitat

Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, March 11, 2015

Ohio Northern University’s Habitat for Humanity Chapter sent 110 students on work trips for spring break March 1-7.

Instead of heading down south for a week on a beach with friends, these ONU students  built homes for families in need. The habitat work teams traveled to Sumter, S.C., Jackson, Miss., and Davidson, N.C., and partner with Habitat for Humanity affiliates to work on homes in the area.
