Come explore the skies at the University's Belk Astronomical Observatory. This event is free to the public, and requires tickets.

Bring your snacks, lawn chairs, and blankets and stake a place out on the lawn to kick back and enjoy the Perseid meteor shower. You can take advantage of our dark skies in Bedford to spot some meteors and arrive a bit early to see the sunset over the Peaks in the gardens at Cloverlea. […]

Belk Observatory's "Daytime Sky Series" allows visitors to see the sun, moon, and the facility during the day. It's a more behind-the-scenes-type event, with no structure or flow. Visitors can view the sun through one of the 8-inch Celestron telescopes and the moon with the Gilbert telescope.

This event begins with a "planet walk" and continues with night sky viewing from different outdoor stations at Belk Observatory. Visitors will view the night sky through astronomical equipment, talk with observatory docents, and learn about celestial objects and telescopes.
