MSU Observatory

MSU ObservatoryAre you a stargazer? Do you enjoy looking into the unbelievable night sky? If so you must visit the Observatory at MSU, located on the corner of Forest and College Roads.

Public Observing Nights

Approximately two evenings per month, if the sky is sufficiently clear, the MSU observatory will open its doors for public observing from 9-11 pm. The MSU 0.6 meter telescope will be set up for viewing selected astronomical objects throughout the evening. Also, smaller telescopes are set up in the observatory parking lot, with both local area and MSU astronomers on hand to answer questions.

Telescope You can see the scheduled dates for public observing nights at www.pa.msu.edu/astro/observ/.

The MSU Observatory is located at the corner of Forest and College Roads, south of the main MSU campus in East Lansing, MI.
