SkyNights
is a night-time observing program that
provides the opportunity to peer beyond the blue horizons adorning our
southwestern skies and explore astronomical wonders that have
fascinated us from time immemorial. Star charts, binoculars and a
superb 24-inch telescope are just some of the resources utilized in
this program. Join us as part of a group for the evening hours and enjoy our universe like you've never done before!.
DiscoveryDays Learn about the scientific, historical, and natural
wonders of Mt. Lemmon and the Catalina Mountains by interacting with UA
scientists in this hands-on program. Topics include tree-ring science,
hummingbird studies, updates on recent astronomical discoveries,
ecology, meteorology, and more.
AstronomerNights opens up nearly
exclusive, extended access to our 24-inch telescope like a professional
astronomer. This unique experience allows one or two visitors to
observe with an astronomer/guide, be lodged on site in our dorm,
acquire high quality images of objects of their choice, and have images
processed and subsequently made available to them. Groups can be
accommodated with adjustments in program and fees. There are no
prerequisites on experience or education: just a curiosity about our
universe and an interest in exploring it first-hand!
Our Workshops immerse you for several days and nights at our mountaintop facility in the focused study of a topic in the sciences or arts. The in-depth instruction and hands-on activities will hone the skills of even the most accomplished student. Visit our workshop page for the next event in this series.
