About Black Rock Observatory

Black Rock Observatory · Portland, Los Angeles, Dubai, Vancouver BC, Mammendorf Germany

Black Rock Observatory

Black Rock Observatory serves as a gateway to the wonders of the cosmos. The Observatory brings together thousands of participants to experience views of planets, galaxies and nebulae, sharing meteorites, and giving talks on a multitude of scientific topics. A beautiful wooden observatory dome houses an 8-foot tall Dobsonian reflector telescope, and several other smaller telescopes that participants can use to view the night sky. And there's a solar telescope in the afternoon!
