Welcome to the York University Allan I Carswell Astronomical Observatory!

We are running regular in person shows. Events are all-ages. These sessions will only go ahead if the weather is CLEAR.  Masks are recommended. 

The location is the 'Arboretum Lane Parking Garage' just across from the 'York University Petrie Science and Engineering' building at York University. To enter the observatory atrium go to the top level of the parking garage and look for the wire enclosure with the telescopes. Please keep in mind only one ticket booking per person is currently allowed. We do not have in-person tickets. 

We will be hosting our free in-person tours every Wednesday (except some holidays). For more info, please visit our website: https://www.yorku.ca/science/observatory/

On the last Friday of each month, we will be broadcasting live imaging on YouTube from 7:30pm ET on our Final Friday TeleTube broadcast at: https://www.youtube.com/user/YorkUObservatory/live
