Lick Observatory Summer Programs 



Tickets Available beginning Tuesday May 18th


  


Summer Visitors Program


  


Each summer, Lick Observatory hosts a Summer Visitors Program
(SVP) where the public is invited 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. Amateur astronomer volunteers provide additional outside
viewing and informal talks.

The first talk begins at sunset. Observing begins when it gets
dark and continues until everyone has had the opportunity to view 
through both
telescopes. Because of the late hours and the need for reasonable public
behavior, attendance is not advisable for most children under 8 years 
old.

Music of the Spheres Concert Series


  


Lick Observatory presents a variety of performers in a summer
concert series to benefit the Lick Observatory Visitors Programs. Doors 
open
and seating begins one half hour before the concert.

Talks by our famous research astronomers begin right after the
music. Viewing through both the 36-inch 
Great
Lick Refractor and the Nickel 
40-inch
Reflecting Telescope follows, weather permitting. Amateur 
astronomer
volunteers provide additional outside viewing and informal talks. 
Attendance
not advisable for children under ten years old.

Only 160 seats are available each night. Concerts sell out 
quickly
and ticket requests are filled in the order received.
