Have you experienced a truly dark sky? Have you peered into the depths of the Milky Way and been inspired by the expanse and beauty of the universe? Thousands of people participate in Mount Cuba Observatory programs every year, getting a chance to peer through a telescope, or visiting our planetarium to travel to the wonders of the universe. Young people from local schools and clubs attend special programs at the Observatory, often having their very first views through a telescope. With your support, we can continue to offer programs, work to improve K-12 astronomy and science education, and provide the foundation needed by people of all ages to become citizen scientists.

Mount Cuba Observatory is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, so 100 percent of your donation goes to supporting the Observatory. Also, don't forget to ask your company to match your donation!
