Public Events » Open House Schedule
Our Open House events are held on Friday nights at the Tombaugh Observatory on the NMSU campus (click here for a
map showing the location of the observatory). They occur roughly once per
month, near the time of the first-quarter Moon from September through May,
and often during the summer as well. Each evening program begins with a short
presentation, followed by guided observing through telescopes. You may call
646.4438 for more information about the program for a specific month. Children
are particularly encouraged to attend!
If the weather looks cloudy or stormy on the afternoon of an Open House
Event, please call 646.6278 to confirm that the observatory will be open that
evening. We cannot operate the telescopes under conditions of heavy clouds,
high humidity, or rain.
