2025 Statewide Star Party at the Three College Observatory
April 4, 2025 @ 7:30 pm
View the skies through the 32-inch telescope at the Three College Observatory, one of the largest telescopes in the southeastern US!
You may sign up for a variety of times beginning at 7:45 pm. This will make the viewing through our 32-inch telescope available to a much larger group of people than our typical public nights. We will also have some activities for younger kids (typically 2nd grade and older), as well as outdoor viewing and other astronomy-related activities. Bring your lawn chair if you would like, and enjoy our wonderful night skies!
Tickets are free but they are required. Please fill out and submit this form which is an application for reservations at the observatory on Friday, April 4th, 2025. If space is available, you will receive a confirmation email in late March with your time slot.
We will do our best to accommodate everyone, and request groups larger than 8 people please apply separately by sending an email to arschaefer@uncg.edu.
Please check our “Is My TCO Public Night Cancelled” page because cancellations due to clouds can occur. Our current postpone date is the following Saturday, April 5th. If cancellation occurs or seems likely, we will do our best to communicate with you via the email that you use as contact on the signup form.
