Skygazing @ Talcott Mountain

Discover the wonders of the night sky with Talcott Mountain Science Center Skygazing programs.

Our expert astronomers will guide you through an enchanting journey among the stars. Our programs offer all ages a unique opportunity to explore the cosmos under the 44-foot dome in our planetarium; witness celestial marvels like planets, galaxies and nebula, through powerful telescopes; and learn from experts in the field. Join us under the open skies and experience the magic of the universe like never before.

See the Universe in Your Own Backyard!

If you can’t join us on the mountain, and you don’t have a telescope at home — you can still witness some of marvelous astronomical events right in your own backyard! Throughout the year, there are many astronomical events that are observed beautifully –some without any magnification, some with a simple pair of binoculars. Visit our Sky Happenings page and see what’s coming up on the calendar!
