Flandrau’s Observatory Remains Open To The Public

Thanks to a number of dedicated astronomy volunteers, Flandrau Science Center’s 16-inch telescope, the largest public viewing telescope in Southern Arizona, remains open for public viewing. Due to the volunteers, the observatory will continue to operate despite the announcement earlier in the year that Flandrau Science Center will be closed to the public due to state budget cuts.
