Star Talk nights offer great talks by great speakers on astronomy, space science and sometimes, science fiction.
You'll also have a chance to tour the Observatory and (weather permitting) check out the night sky through a variety of telescopes set up on the lawn and through the big scope in the Main Dome. If the weather gods are angry, you can check out the (virtual) night sky in our special Skylab.
