Public Astronomy Nights (April - Dec.)
The Clay Center Observatory is open one evening each week in the fall and spring terms for public astronomy viewing. Bring the entire family to look at the stars, planets, Moon, and more. Tour the Stars Court, lit by fiber optics, and walk among the classical constellations from 17th century drawings. Visit the Moon Court and Sun Court to learn about our solar system. Weigh yourself on the Moon and Mars with the Planetary Scales. (Weather permitting.) See the Clay Center Public Astronomy page for details.
Community and Adult Education

While most classes are for adults only (age 16+), some are designed to be parent-child shared learning experiences, such as the Amateur Radio classes.
