Globular Clusters: Fossils in the Sky - Lick Observatory Summer Visitors Program - SOLD OUT

Lick Observatory hosts a Summer Visitors Program (SVP), inviting the public  to observe through both the 36-inch Great Lick Refractor and Nickel 40-inch Reflecting Telescope. Each evening also features two speakers, who present programs even if clouds or fog prohibit viewing.

Lick astronomers   present multimedia lectures on their research or topics of current interest. A "History of Lick Observatory" talk is also presented. Local amateur astronomers outside the buildings provide additional telescopes and informal astronomy discussions.   

Program begins with the first talk at sunset. Observing begins when it gets dark and continues until everyone has had the opportunity to view through both telescopes.

Due to safety concerns, children under the age of 10 will not be admitted.

Tickets on sale May 15

Speaker: Graeme Smith, UC Santa Cruz
