Creighton University Observatory is located on the Creighton University campus in Omaha, Nebraska. It was the first observatory in Omaha, and the second in Nebraska. It was used primarily for the instruction of students, though the directors did do some research in the observatory. It still stands today on the campus grounds, though there is currently no public access. ==Quick facts== *Construction Began: October 6, 1885 *Benefactor: John A.
