On clear nights, visit the Gilliland Observatory on the roof of the Museum's parking garage, where you can view stars, planets, the Moon, and other astronomical phenomena.

During inclement weather or less ideal stargazing conditions, come indoors to discuss astronomy and perform hands-on activities with Observatory staff members.This program does not run on nights when the weather is inclement.
