Online Public Night with the Georgia Tech Observatory

Without leaving the comfort of your home, on October 22 you can enjoy an evening under the stars, guided by the Georgia Tech Observatory. This is the Observatory's third online public night, preceded by many years of in-person public nights on the roof of Howey Physics Building. Tune in here at 8 PM ET to watch the live stream.

Viewers will be treated to a live tour of the Moon, Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars by Observatory Director James Sowell, as shown through the lense of a Georgia Tech telescope to a live stream on YouTube. The stream is dependent on clear weather to happen.

Read more about the Observatory's inaugural online public night, which took place on May 7, and save the YouTube channel to your calendar for the October 22 online public night.
