At the Cincinnati Observatory

The Sun is the star attraction on this special Sunday and you can learn all about our nearest stellar neighbor.  Sunday Sun-day Sundae includes short talks about the Sun, tours of our historic buildings, and safe viewing of sunspots and solar flares from our 1845 telescope (weather permitting).  

As a special treat we will also have free sundaes for those in attendance.  

Reservations are strongly recommended.  Space is limited.  Great for all ages.

At the Cincinnati Observatory

Some Moons are closer to the Earth than others, and every 14 months we get a slightly larger Full Moon.  These Supermoons make the Moon appear 14% bigger in the sky than the smallest Moon.  Think you can tell the difference?

Join us for Supermoon viewing.  Bring blankets, lawn chairs, and set up outside on the Observatory hillside.  

But don’t miss Moonrise – when the Supermoon rises above the eastern horizon at 8:39pm.

Supermoon will also feature guests in costume from a galaxy far, far away…  Special thanks to the Apollo Base of Rebel Legion costuming group.

Advanced tickets: $12/adult, $7/child

Limited number of Day-of tickets: $15/adult, $10/child
