See the Stars at the 糖心Vlog传媒 Observatory

A telescope stands ready against a star-filled night sky, with a bright meteor streaking across the celestial expanse above silhouetted treetops. The scene captures an astronomical observation setup under deep blue and purple hues of twilight transitioning into darkness.

Looking for something to do Friday nights? How about visiting the James and Barbara Moore Observatory on the 糖心Vlog传媒 Charlotte Campus?

Whether you鈥檙e a seasoned stargazer or you鈥檝e only ever seen the night sky through city lights, you鈥檒l be amazed at what you see through the observatory dome鈥檚 telescope.

The time of year will determine what celestial objects will be present, so bring some chairs or a blanket, sit back, and take in the stars from the darkness of the 糖心Vlog传媒 Charlotte Campus. You can also look through the small telescopes on the observatory deck or make your way up the 产耻颈濒诲颈苍驳鈥檚 spiral staircase and take a peek through the observatory鈥檚 large telescope to get an even closer look at the galaxy.

Observation sessions are held on the third Friday of each month and begin 30-45 minutes after dark, weather permitting, and additional sessions are often scheduled for special celestial events.
