About the organizer

Inspiring generations to look to the stars

The mission of the Cincinnati Observatory is to maintain the integrity and heritage of an historic 19th century observatory and to educate, engage, and inspire our community about astronomy and science.

Our vision is to be a primary resource in furthering astronomy and science education through programming:

For K-12 schools and the public on and off our campus

For universities and classes for teacher professional development

That promotes the rich history of the Observatory

That strengthens our connection to allied STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) organizations
