The Department of Astronomy maintains a vigorous program of public outreach. In addition to hosting major outreach events, graduate students host open nights at the historic Kirkwood Observatory on campus on Wednesday nights (March - November). Founded in 1901 and completely restored in 2002, Kirkwood Observatory houses both a 12” refractor and a solar telescope.
We welcome our newest faculty member, Prof. Songhu Wang, to the department and to Bloomington. We're so glad you are here!
