Observatory exhibits, gift shop, and its buildings and grounds will be open during and after the presentation. Weather permitting, we’ll have solar viewing through our historic 1845 Merz and Mahler 11” refracting telescope in the adjacent Mitchel Building after the presentation.

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
