icon for wheelchair accessibilityBased on today’s Minnesota Department of Health recommendations, we are canceling tonight’s Star Party. Thank you for your interest, and we’ll keep you updated when we’re able to resume these events! If you have any questions, please get in touch at bellinfo@umn.edu.

Explore the sky with the Bell Museum. FREE telescope observing nights take place monthly during the University’s Fall and Spring semesters. These are very informal and family-friendly.

Start the night inside the Whitney and Elizabeth MacMillan Planetarium for a brief presentation of Spring Sky Tonight. After the planetarium show, the evening will continue with telescopes on our rooftop observation deck. Bell Museum staff will guide you through observations of the same celestial objects that have inspired sky-gazers throughout history!
