===Astronomy Night at Robbins Farm Park, Arlington ===
This summer there will be a series of Astronomy Nights at Robbins Farm Park.  Each night we'll have at least one telescope out to view objects in the night sky.  We'll have a specific target object each time, but with a sky full of stars, we won't be limited to just that one.  The events are totally informal and fun for all ages.  Each Astronomy Night will start when the stars come out.  If it is overcast we'll have to cancel, but as long as there are some stars visible we'll give it a shot.  The telescopes will be set up on the observation area that overlooks Boston.

===Clay Center Observatory, Brookline===
Members of the public are invited to visit during weekly astronomy open house events during the fall and spring terms.

===Museum of Science, Boston ===
Weather permitting, the observatory is open every Friday, 8:30-10 p.m.
Tucked away on the roof of the Museum's parking garage, this is a wonderful resource for our starry-eyed public.  Admittance is free thanks to the generosity of the Lowell Institute. Please call the Gilliland Observatory Hotline, 617-589-0267, which is updated at 5:30 p.m. on Friday nights with information about that night's observing session. The hotline also lists general information about the observatory, what objects can be observed in the current night sky, and how to contact an observatory staff person.  Prepare for your observatory viewing by attending the Museum's Friday night showing of The Sky Tonight at 7:00 p.m. in the Charles Hayden Planetarium.

=== Judson B. Coit Observatory, Boston University===
The Judson B. Coit Observatory is located on the roof of the College of Arts & Sciences (CAS) building at 725 Commonwealth Avenue.  The Public Open Night at the Observatory is a chance for people to come observe the night sky through telescopes and binoculars and see things they otherwise might not get to see, and learn some astronomy as well. The Open Nights are held most Wednesday evenings throughout the year, weather permitting. It is open to everyone. Starting times are 7:30pm during the fall and winter, and 8:30pm during the spring and summer. The program lasts about an hour.  Predicting the weather in New England isn't easy, so we won't know if the Open Night will be held or not until the day of the program. To find out if the Open Night will be held, call our information number at 617-353-2630, no earlier than two hours before the scheduled starting time.  Remember, it gets very cold in Boston in the winter and the telescopes are outside, so dress warmly.
