UW Astronomy Open House


We have recently finished installing a digital upgrade to our planetarium, powered by Microsoft WorlWide Telescope. We are opening our doors to the public on April 16, 2011 for a free glimpse at the newly renovated system. Please come and join us!

Time: Saturday, April 16, 1:00-5:00pm

Location: UW Planetarium

The Planetarium is located in the A-wing of the Physics-Astronomy Building, at the southwest corner of the Seattle campus (3910 15th Ave NE). Click for a map.

Parking at the UW is complementary after noon on Saturdays. The closest lots to the planetarium are lots C1-C5, in the parking garage off 15th ave and NE 41st street. Please see the UW parking page here.

Go to the Welcome Desk in the Physics courtyard for a list of activities, information, and free planetarium tickets. (The courtyard is up a flight of stairs above the Burke-Gilman trail and N.E. Pacific Ave. Look for the sundial!)
