Hands-on

The Public Open Night at the Observatory is a chance for people to come observe the night sky through telescopes and see things they otherwise might not get to see, and learn some astronomy as well. The Open Nights are held most Wednesday evenings throughout the year, weather permitting.

Public Open Nights are open to everyone, however space is limited. Ticket reservations for admission are managed through the BU Open Night Eventbrite site. Tickets are free, limited to 5 per person, and made available on Thursday mornings. More details can be found on the Eventbrite page. The program starts promptly at 7:30pm during the fall and winter months, and 8:30pm during the spring and summer months. Please arrive early as there is no admittance once the program begins. We start admitting ticketed guests 10 minutes before the program begins. Right before the program starts and after all the ticketed guests that are present are admitted, we will admit any non-ticketed guests until we reach capacity. No unaccompanied minors will be admitted.
