Enjoy one of the most exciting learning opportunities in the Greater Cincinnati area. Become a member and help us maintain an important part of Cincinnati's and the nation's scientific and architectural heritage. Situated atop the rolling hillsides of Mt.Lookout, the Observatory is home to the world's oldest telescope still in use nightly by the general public. Two handsome National Historic Landmark buildings; one designed in 1873 by Samuel Hannaford, complement the institution's park-like setting. The Cincinnati Observatory is looking for 20 educators to win a brand new telescope and become Future Galileos. This innovative program will train you how to use the telescope and teach you how to share it with the universe. For more information and an application please click: Future Galileos.
