Goodness Gracious Heavens Above!


Feel like looking at some stars? You've come to the right place. From here in you can see a tiny fraction of the 400 billion or so stars found in the Milky Way Galaxy. Located at the highest point in the Astronomy Tower is a circular spacious deck that it just three flights of spiraling stairs above the Astronomy classroom. Here, students are encouraged to use it the large telescope located along its edge or any of the smaller telescopes accenting the perimeter of the deck. In the cupboards around the space you can also find and borrow a variety of handheld astronomical instruments from astrolabes to nocturnals to sextants.

Large star charts are magic'd to the walls which anyone is free to study for own leisure or school assignment. Be advised that any attempt to takedown these charts is discouraged unless you fancy yourself a tail and enjoy barking when you attempt to speak.

Stargazing is an activity best practiced at night and therefore the observatory always open to students and their academic pursuits at all hours of the day - as long as students adhere by a curfew and have permission from a member of faculty showing that you are allowed to be here after curfew. If caught after hours without a signed note you can expect that there will be consequences.
