About Us:

The St. Petersburg/Gibbs campus is also home to a rooftop observatory, featuring a 20-inch reflecting telescope that is open to students and the public after planetarium shows. On this third-floor obersvation deck, you will find numerous portable high-powered telescopes. Special telescopes equipped with solar filters allow daytime visitors to safely view sunspots, prominences and other solar activity.
