Stargazers are invited to the Georgia Tech Observatory’s Public Nights for a close-up glimpse of the Moon, Jupiter, Saturn, and other night-sky wonders. Public Nights, which are held on select Thursday evenings, are free and open to everyone.

On the grounds between the Howey and Mason Buildings, several telescopes are typically set up for viewing, and visitors are also welcome to bring their own telescopes.

Public Nights are contingent on clear weather.
