The king of the solar system is back.
Jupiter has returned to the evening skies with its fabled red spot and 63 moons.

The Observatory celebrates Jupiter on August 8 and 9 with classes about our largest planet and tours of the Observatory. Then, see the cloud tops of Jupiter and the four Galilean moons through our historic 1843 and 1904 telescopes (weather permitting). We will also take a closer look at the craters of the Moon.

Reservations required for the hourly classes.
No reservations needed for viewing and tours. Drop in between 9-11pm.

Cost: $5 per person.
