*Several observatories in the area offer public viewing nights.  These include the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (on the third Thursday of most months), the Clay Center for Science and Technology (on Tuesdays, though not during winter), Coit Observatory at BU (Wednesdays), and the Galliland Observatory at the Museum of Science (Fridays).   Weather permitting, of course.   (The CfA's Sky Report summarizes what's up there now.)   Also see The Sky Tonight in the Museum of Science's Hayden Planetarium.  Information on tours of the Blue Hill Meteorological Observatory can be found here.
