Angell Hall Observatory, Astronomical observatory at University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, United States.
The Angell Hall Observatory contains a 0.4-meter Cassegrain telescope within its single dome and a small radio telescope on the roof.
The observatory began operations in 1927 as part of the University of Michigan's expansion of astronomical research and educational facilities.
The Student Astronomical Society organizes regular open houses where community members learn about celestial objects through direct observation.

The facility includes a teaching planetarium with a Zeiss projector that displays 7,000 stars and demonstrates celestial movements in accelerated time.
