“The night sky is always there, inexhaustible and fundamental to the understanding of nature. It puts before us considerations we would never have thought of, but for it.”.
Ralph Sampson
Astronomer Royal for Scotland, 1910-37
Our Next Event
Events at the Royal Observatory
Our events programme runs throughout the year, and includes:
Our Astronomy Talk series ‘Astronomy Talks for All‘ is running in October, December, January and March this year. The series is suitable for those with little to no background in astronomy and technology, as well as those who would enjoy a deeper dive into the work of our scientists.
Our Nights at the Royal Observatory Edinburgh events are running in November and February this year. Come and hear the story of Edinburgh’s Royal Observatory and explore the iconic Victorian telescope dome at our public astronomy evenings.
Occasionally we run special events with partners around Edinburgh and as part of wider festivals or events.
