Education

As part of our mission, we want to inform, educate and inspire the general public and support teaching in the sciences of astronomy and physics.  To this end, we maintain a nicely heated classroom where we host schools, scouts, civic groups, exchange students, the general public and all others who come to the observatory.  Groups can use our contact form to obtain more information. Use our event calendar to learn about lectures by educators, scientists, astronomy & space professionals, as well as observatory members — which are open to the public.
