MOSI SkyWatch Events

See the universe up-close and personal through MOSI’s telescopes.

• See craters on the Moon.
• Watch as another planet’s moons slowly perform a gravitational dance.
• See stellar nurseries where stars are being formed.
• See star clusters so far away that light – traveling at 186,000 miles per second – takes tens of thousands of years to make it to your eye.

SkyWatch is free and open to the public.

Viewings begin at Sundown. 

Please note: Clear skies are required to use the telescopes, SkyWatch will be cancelled if it is raining or cloudy.
