Welcome to the website for Embry-Riddle's Daytona Beach Observatory.

The Daytona Beach campus hosts six Open House nights each year. Save the date for our next event!

Students taking an Astronomy Laboratory, completing a Minor in Astronomy or a Minor in Astrophysics use the observatory to carry out projects in observational astronomy.

The Observatory is part of the Department of Physical Sciences, which offers undergraduate degrees in Astronomy & Astrophysics, Space Physics, and Engineering Physics, as well as a Master of Science in Engineering Physics and a Ph.D. in Engineering Physics.

You can help us expand our public lecture series and keep the observatory the best in Florida.  Donate to the “Friends of the Embry-Riddle Observatory Fund” today! To donate on-line, click here.
