Vestal Street Observatory Opening Reception
Due to inclement weather, the Vestal Street Observatory Opening Reception is now Saturday, August 2 from 6:30 - 9pm.
Join the MMA for an exclusive evening of stargazing and history as we celebrate the reopening of the Vestal Street Observatory and Astronomical Study at 3 Vestal Street.
We are honored to welcome Brother Guy Consolmagno, Director of the Vatican Observatory, who will be joining us virtually to offer a special blessing. In 1857, Maria Mitchell made history as the first woman admitted to the Vatican.
Our friends from Travel Sommelier will be sharing details about their upcoming science and education-themed trips.
Stargazing will follow the reception at nightfall, marking the only opportunity this summer to view the night sky from the Vestal Street dome.
