The observatory will be open from noon to 1pm on Thursdays to observe the Sun.
The U of A Observatory is operated by the Department of Physics at the University of Alberta. We're located at the West end of the 5th floor of the CCIS Building. We provide free outreach activities for the public through our regular free observing hours as well as special visits for school groups and other education-oriented groups.
May - August 2013
Solar Observing: Most Thursdays 12-1 pm
If observatory will be closed, we will post an announcement on our Facebook page.
School groups and other education-oriented groups can book a private visit. These visits are free of charge. Please contact us at least one month before your anticipated visit date since there is high demand for these visits and we have limited availability.
Teachers should note that the Sky Scan outreach program is designed to help bring real science activities to Grade 6 and 9 science classes.
