The Department of Astronomy operates an on-campus Teaching Observatory for educational and public programs. These events are all free to the public. The observatory is open Friday evenings, from 8:30 pm to 10:00 pm, whenever UF classes are in session, weather permitting. The status of each event will be displayed in their Twitter Feed approximately 30-60 minutes before the scheduled start of observing.
The UF Campus Teaching Observatory is located south of the Reitz Union parking lot and west of the Aerospace Engineering building, off the Museum Road.
