Observatory

Weather allowing, the observatory will be open to the public to see planets, the Moon, stars, nebulae, galaxies and more at the following times this summer (all Wednesdays):

• May 27, 9:00 – 10:15 pm
• June 10 and 24, 9:15 – 10:30 pm
• July 8 and 22, 9:15 – 10:30 pm
• August 5 and 19, 8:45 – 10:00 pm

Please check here or on our social media the afternoon of the event for our weather decision. We generally cancel if there will be a little more than 50% cloud cover, but we use our best judgement based on multiple forecasts and satellite imagery. We're on Bluesky, Facebook, Instagram, and Tumblr @BSUObservatory where we also post astrophotography and some astronomy news. We have a TikTok with some fun content, too!
