Tours of the historic Allegheny Observatory are once more available for free to members of the public, offering visitors the chance to view the stars and learn about the history of astrophysics.
Tour season for the observatory begins in April and runs through October. This year, tours are taking place on Wednesdays and Fridays. While the tours themselves are free, there is limited space on each tour, and reservations are required, either by calling (412) 321-2400 or by looking up the observatory’s tours on the website Eventbrite.
Although the season is just getting started, those interested in attending these tours are encouraged to sign up soon.
“They fill up sometimes weeks in advance,” said Kerry Handron, outreach coordinator at the observatory.
