Join us for Public Nights at the Observatory! Visitors get to experience the wonder of the night sky using the Observatory's telescopes with the help of the Observatory's staff of astronomers. Learn about the Moon, the planets, stars, nebulae and galaxies and see them yourself through our telescopes. 

Our first observing session is Friday April 25, 2025 from 9:30pm - 11:30pm .

Please Note:

• Observing sessions require suitable sky conditions. To learn the status of any event, check the Observatory's home page or beginning one hour before the event. Inclement weather or other unforeseen adverse circumstances may cause the cancellation of a scheduled event. Please arrive no later than one half hour before the scheduled end of the session.
• All sessions are free and open to the public. These events are family friendly, but best suited to children over the age of 5.
• Observing sessions are primarily held outdoors. Please dress appropriately for personal comfort during your visit.
• The Observatory is located on the main campus of the ÿÈÕ´óÈü, in the Science Learning and Research Center (SLRC). Park in the parking lot behind the SLRC (Parking Lot A) and enter the building through the west door. Take the elevator to the third floor, and turn left to go through the double doors to the observing deck.
