Belk Observatory's "Daytime Sky Series" allows visitors to see the sun, moon, and the facility during the day. It's a more behind-the-scenes-type event, with no structure or flow. Visitors can view the sun through one of the 8-inch Celestron telescopes and the moon with the Gilbert telescope.
The Spring Jazz Concert will feature the University of Lynchburg Jazz Ensemble and Community Big Band, both under the direction of Dr. Chris Magee.
This event begins with a "planet walk" and continues with night sky viewing from different outdoor stations at Belk Observatory. Visitors will view the night sky through astronomical equipment, talk with observatory docents, and learn about celestial objects and telescopes.

Twenty years ago, nearly 3,000 people died due to coordinated attacks against the United States by terrorists who hijacked four passenger jets that crashed into the World Trade Center buildings in New York, the Pentagon, and a field in rural Pennsylvania. Photojournalist Peter Turnley arrived at the site of the World Trade Center — "ground zero" — at about 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, September 11, 2001. "I pulled up to a police barricade that was turning all cars away and showed my NATO press pass from work in Kosovo," he said. "The police looked at the pass, shrugged their shoulders, and said hesitantly, 'go ahead.'" He worked over the next 10 days, documenting the devastation and the courage of first responders and rescue workers, and the grief of families and friends of the dead.
