Keele Observatory

Space and the stars are a draw for everyone.  Tap into this enthusiasm by booking a visit to the Keele Observatory. 

For daytime visits the observatory has a solar telescope; evening visits are also available.  The observatory is open to the public for viewing sessions on Tuesday evenings (20:00 - 22:30) and Saturday afternoons (14:00 - 16:30), weather permitting.  Members of the local Astronomy Society are on hand during these times to answer questions.

To book an evening visit to the Observatory e-mail the Observatory team.

 

2012 is a celebratory year for the Observatory as it has been running for 50 years.  To mark this a history of the Observatory has been compiled and can be downloaded from here - First fifty years of the Keele Observatory
