Royal Observatory Edinburgh Open Days
The annual Royal Observatory Open Days are your chance to look behind the scenes here at the Observatory. Over thirty Observatory staff will be on hand to guide you round and answer your questions.
Come and catch talks, demonstrations and exhibits and discover how our historic site is evolving to accommodate state-of-the-art technology and purpose built facilities.
This year the Open Days will be on Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th September 2008. Watch this space for more details.
