Take a look through our telescopes and observe the stars
Take a look through our telescopes while you’re out exploring Washington, DC. Join us outside the Museum at the corner of Independence Ave and 7th Street SW, near the silver Delta Solar sculpture, and see the wonders of the night sky.
Experienced people will help you to use different telescopes to observe a variety of things, including planets, stars, and the Moon.
Telescopes will be provided by Smithsonian and pre-approved members of local astronomy clubs. No other personal telescopes are permitted at the event.
The event is weather permitting and may be cancelled due to rain, clouds, and other poor visibility. For last-minute updates, check this event page or call the Astronomy Education number at 202-633-2517.
