Creighton University Observatory
Nebraska, United States
The Creighton University Observatory was an observatory in Omaha, Nebraska, United States. Located on the campus of Creighton University, it opened in 1886, and was founded by Rev. WIlliam F. Rigge. 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. The observatory was demolished in late April 2022 to allow for the construction of a new Jesuit residence hall.
