What was Carl Sagan’s favorite song? What would Beethoven think of his music floating among the stars? Find out in the recording of Ann Druyan's Q&A, now on our YouTube!

Please TURN ON SUBTITLES—we had some issues with the audio and video recording :(

Beethoven wondered if his music would be heard on other worlds... maybe it will!

[Cornell Astronomical Society @ Fuertes Observatory @FuertesObs]

Open 8 PM to midnight tonight! We’re back to 50% cloud cover, but we might still get a glimpse at the Moon, Mars, and Venus before they set in the early evening.

Even if there’s not much to see, the fireflies from Fuertes are like stars of their own!

[Cornell Astronomical Society @ Fuertes Observatory @FuertesObs]

We’re open tonight (and every Friday through July)!

The cloud cover is only partial today, so after all the weeks of smoke and rain, tonight is an ideal time to observe with us!

Open 8 PM to midnight—but not dark enough to observe til after 9 ✨

[Dr. Jake Turner @Astro_journey]

It’s looking mostly cloudy tonight, but we’ll see…

Our final newsletter of Spring '23 is out!

This issue travels to the International Space Station and Europa, explores spectroscopy and relativity, and welcomes next year's club officers. Plus, we make our return to Cherry Springs!

We're open tonight from 8 PM to midnight! It's looking mostly cloudy, but we’ll try our best. Venus may still be visible!

The stargazing doesn’t stop in the summer! We hope to be open every Friday through the end of July. Just check here to make sure!

[Cornell Astronomical Society @ Fuertes Observatory @FuertesObs]

We’ll be open tonight at 8 PM! And it looks like it’ll be clear 🥳 Come on over to Fuertes for some moon viewing!

We’ll also be electing next year’s officers tonight—stay tuned!

@Waterburn4 Hello! It looks like it’ll be rainy tomorrow, so no observing :( But we’re always open on Fridays during the semester, rain or shine, so feel free to come tour our historic building and telescope!

Thanks for a great Yuri’s Night everyone! Featured in the first image is the prototype “StarChip,” a tiny spacecraft that Prof. Peck passed around during his lecture last night.

The recording of Prof. Mason Peck’s lecture is now up on our website! https://t.co/4SJCtHplhB
