The UMD Astronomy Observatory Remains Closed
Fall 2024 Update: The UMD Astronomy Observatory remains closed to all public outreach activities.
A great way of learning about astronomy and sharing it is to see photographs and images of all the neat objects in space.
And it's not just about the pretty pictures of the night sky. Astronomy is about having fun and sharing the excitement of observing with others.
