About Us

The Texas A&M University Physics & Astronomy Teaching Observatory serves our community by teaching astronomy and facilitating access to the cosmos. The observatory hosts Texas A&M astronomy classes, community activities, and research projects.

The observatory is CLOSED to the public and students unless an event states otherwise. Check out the events page to see when the next public viewing nights are.

The observatory facilities include a 50-person classroom, an 18-ft dome, a 16.5-ft dome, a Pier Tech Unit observatory, and an observation deck with 16 powered piers for student telescopes. Feel free to contact for any questions.
