Observatory Nights

Greenbush StarGazers

Welcome to Greenbush StarGazers, your free ticket to the night sky! Join us as we bring the final frontier to your backyard. At sunset, we’ll gather to discuss the stellar views in our night sky, upcoming sights to keep an eye on, and tricks for checking it all out at home. Finally, once twilight fades, we’ll sneak a peek at these marvels through the various telescopes in the Greenbush/PSU Astrophysical Observatory.

Signs of Spring from the Sky

March 22 | 8:00 pm

The long nights of winter are nearly over, and the temperatures will soon begin to rise! But these aren’t the only astronomical cues that Spring is in the air. Join us this month as we examine different signals, stories, and sights that help us ring in this season. It’s time to throw open the windows, clean out the dust, and prepare our garden beds. Don’t believe it? Let the sky show you why!
