Explore Astronomy at Lick Observatory

Please read:  Please note, the trip to Lick Observatory during the second class meeting includes 365 turns as you wind your way up Mount Hamilton road to the observatory! Plan to take it slow and take in the views as you make your way up the mountain. Wear comfortable shoes and bring warm clothes; the nights can be quite cool and we’ll be walking for most of the tour. Review additional class information, including a list of required tools, equipment, and supplies.

In alignment with public health guidelines, in-person classes may occur with modifications. Please review the 2022 In-Person Class Information prior to attending class for the most up-to-date information on Extension's policies, procedures, and expectations.
