Visual Astronomy Night

20 June 2026
8:30 PM – 12:00 AM
Emirates Astronomical Observatory – Razeen, Abu Dhabi

Experience the universe under a true moonless sky.

Join us for a guided Visual Astronomy Night at Emirates Astronomical Observatory, where guests will explore deep-sky objects through professional telescopes in a calm, structured observatory environment.

With the Moon absent and planets setting early, the night belongs to deep space. Under dark desert skies, we will observe:

• Globular star clusters
• Bright nebulae
• Distant galaxies
• Double stars
• The Milky Way stretching across the sky

This session is guided by Prabhu, who will provide clear explanations of what you are observing, how far these objects are, and why dark skies matter for astronomy.

This is not a lecture, and not a crowded public viewing.
It is a guided observatory experience designed for families, enthusiasts, and anyone curious about the night sky.
