Public Outreach

Join us for an outdoor session on the LFOP observing deck on Tuesdays, (weather permitting) from 7:00pm to 8:30pm. Visitors will need to line-up in a socially-distanced queue and wear masks. We also ask visitors to not touch the telescopes. As always, public observing is a free event and open to everyone.

In-person Planetarium shows are still on-hold as the LFOP building and domes remain closed to the public. In the meantime, please visit our YouTube page to view past episides of our virtual planetarium shows via the link below.
