Ancient Cosmology Seminar Visits the Allegheny Observatory

On October 22, students from Professor Stamatina Mastorakou’s graduate seminar Ancient Cosmology, together with visiting Professor Alexander Jones (NYU), enjoyed an evening at the Allegheny Observatory. The visit offered a wonderful opportunity to learn about the history of the observatory and connect the study of ancient astronomy with observations of the night sky. A highlight of the evening was seeing the Moon and Saturn through the telescope!

Special thanks to Professor Sandhya Rao for organizing the visit and to Kerry Hendron for the fascinating tour.
