A full evening! Browse our exhibits, enjoy an astro talk with Q&A , and view the sky through the historic Seyfert Telescope at the Vanderbilt University Dyer Observatory in Brentwood, Tennessee.

This talk includes Q&A. Telescope viewings follow when weather permits.

Attendance notes:

All ages are welcome, but this talk is recommended for ages 12 and up.

• You do not need to bring a printed ticket; there will be a guest list at the gate.
• The exhibits on the main floor are handicapped accessible, but the Seyfert telescope on the second floor is only accessible by stairs. There are twenty steps, split by a large landing, leading to the dome. Climbing additional portable steps may be necessary to see through the eyepiece.
• Notify the gate attendant if you have special parking needs.
• Closed-toe footwear is suggested.
• If your plans change and you cannot attend, you may invite someone you know to use your tickets/names for entry.
• Because this is Vanderbilt University property, firearms and smoking are not allowed.
• Please let us know when you get your tickets if someone in your group cannot climb the stairs, so we may attempt to make some accommodation with another telescope if skies are clear enough for viewing.
