Public Lecture at 7pm, Observations from 8pm - 11pm
Our new observatory in the College of Arts and Science building is up and running! Weather permitting, celestial objects will be visible through a collection of telescopes from the roof-top observing deck and through our new 1-meter telescope from within the large dome.
General Information:
Please join us for the Astronomical Observatory Open House nights at ERAU's Daytona Beach campus! These free events allow the campus community and members of the general public of all ages to view the night sky through the Observatory's telescopes, ask questions, and learn about our universe.
There are several events during each academic year hosted by ERAU's Amateur Astronomy Club. Events are on selected Friday nights (see above).
This year we are introducing a new Public Lecture to the Astronomy Open House that will begin at 7pm. Observations will follow from 8pm - 11pm.
View the sky through many of the Observatory's telescopes and binoculars. We have step stools so kids can reach the eyepiece!
In addition to viewing the night sky through our telescopes, explore our astronomy posters and take a walking tour of the solar system. There is no fixed program for observations and no reservations are necessary. Just drop by to see the stars!
