Our Heritage
Seven Decades
Under the Stars
Perched at 1,200 meters on Mount Aethelgard, the Celestis Observatory has served as a beacon for astronomical research and public education since 1952. Our original 24-inch Clark refractor still draws gasps on clear nights.
Today, our research team contributes to exoplanet detection, near-Earth asteroid tracking, and spectroscopic surveys — while welcoming over 15,000 visitors each year to share in the wonder of the night sky.
