  • The MSU Observatory Research Program gives astrophysics students real-life research experience early in their academic careers.
  • Every clear night, students man the MSU Observatory all night and collect data by taking photos with MSU’s telescope.
  • Students also lead public nights, when the public is invited to the Observatory to look through the telescope and attend educational programming.
