Public Shows: Public (walk-in) shows are usually available on the first weekend of each month, with seasonal observational astronomy programs. These multimedia programs are designed for general audiences, usually highlighting star patterns visible in the early evening and astronomical current events. A staff astronomer will be on hand to discuss audience member questions. Rooftop observing may be offered after public shows, subject to staff/equipment availability and favorable weather/sky conditions.
