Late Night @ the Observatory
Can't sleep? Looking for a unique night out?
Come see what the Observatory is like after hours - long after the "early crowd" has gone home. You'll get to use the oldest big telescope in the U.S. to view astronomical objects that are not visible until late at night (weather permitting). Get a sneak preview of the next season's planets and stars a month or two ahead of everyone else. Plus, zoom in on a late-rising moon, or watch the whole sky for a meteor shower or satellite passes. Each night is different and special!
These programs are recommended for adults only. If the weather does not permit viewing, we'll have fun with some of the crazy science experiments and "adult" constellation mythology stories that we can't share with family audiences.
Admission is $10 per person
To make reservations please call 513-321-5186.

First in the Nation: An Evening of History and Science
Experience the fascinating history of the first public astronomical observatory in the nation. From its founding in 1842 to the behind-the-scenes of today. What was John Quincy Adams' role in the Observatory's history? Get a glimpse of the unique cast of characters that made Cincinnati the Birthplace of American Astronomy.
You'll explore the recesses of the Samuel Hannaford designed 1873 observatory. We'll investigate how the Observatory's 19th century astronomers determined time for the city of Cincinnati and our other astronomical "firsts". What does it mean to be a National Historic Landmark and find out what is in store for the future. Look to the heavens through the oldest continuously used telescope in the world.
John Ventre is the historian with the Cincinnati Observatory Center and will be joined by his colleagues from the Museum Committee to bring you an evening of science and history.
