That’s a wrap on our Open House season at the Prince George Astronomical Observatory!

A huge thank you to the 1,000+ visitors who came through our doors this season — whether you stopped by to explore the night sky, asked thoughtful (and sometimes very challenging!) questions, or generously supported us through donations, we truly appreciate each and every one of you. Your curiosity, enthusiasm, and support are what keep our observatory thriving.

We’re not done yet though — we’re already looking ahead to summer! We’re planning to host special daytime Open Houses featuring views of the Sun through Hydrogen Alpha telescopes, giving you a chance to see solar flares and prominences in incredible detail.

We’re also considering hosting a public movie night under the stars — and we’d love to hear from you!

1) Would you be interested in a movie night at the observatory?

2) Any movie suggestions or ideas? Send us an email with your suggestion rascpg@telus.net

Stay tuned for updates, and once again — thank you for an amazing season!
