Welcome to 2010
While IYA 2009 is over, the new decade promises more amazing discoveries about our Universe. Astronomy today continues to challenge our understanding, and in turn, the notion of our place in the cosmos.
The goal of Harper Astronomy is to share the wonder of the universe and the excitement of discovery. By offering free, public viewing sessions at the Harper College Observatory, we bring the universe to you. Not only can you observe objects near and far, our staff provides interpretation of what is seen. These events are attended by young children, their parents, and grandparents. For us, one of the most thrilling sounds is that of a small voice in the dark exclaiming "I see it!"
So drop on by, look through a telescope, and prepare to be awed.
