Description

Mount Wilson's 60-inch Telescope Public Ticket Nights make the remarkable experience of telescope viewing available to individuals.  

You will be looking through the historic telescope that astronomer Harlow Shapley used to measure the size of our Milky Way Galaxy for the first time and find our position in it, removing us from the center.

Come enjoy an incredible night of astronomy on one of the largest telescopes in the world available for public use.
