Astronomy Day 2025

Join us for Astronomy Day, our annual celebration of all things celestial.

This year includes programming for children, adults, and families including astronomical arts and crafts, hands-on space demonstrations with graduate students from Dartmouth College. Examine meteorites up close, experiment with a gravity well, and try your hand at creating a gas giant with Jupiter Art while meeting face-to-face with astronomers to learn more about them and their research.

Then come on back in the evening for Lightning Talks featuring local astronomers.

We’ll challenge Dartmouth Graduate students studying various aspects of the universe to introduce their field of study and their current research to the public in short, fast-paced presentations that are easy to follow for anyone new to astronomy. Each presenter only has a limited amount of time before the buzzer goes off and it’s time for a few questions before moving on to the next presenter.

Details for each event are below.
