Star Parties

Green Bank Observatory staff will treat you to views of the night sky through optical telescopes. If weather does not permit outdoor observing, don’t worry! We will have a stellar indoor presentation.

FREE! Please check-in at the Science Center.

The program begins approximately half an hour after sunset to allow our astronomers time to align the telescopes! Please see the events calendar for specific start times for each date. Programs run for about 2 hrs.
