FACILITIES

      Astronomy students at Lycoming get to take advantage of the department's Astrophysical Research Station, which is comprised of an 11-foot radio telescope and various computers and monitors allowing students to conduct stellar research in any kind of weather. Additionally, the department has several portable optical telescopes that students frequently set up on campus and may also take off campus for better observing conditions. The College's Detwiler Planetarium is used in our astronomy classes, and astronomy majors can be trained to operate it to give shows to outside groups.
