Did you know Tulane has an observatory? Look for the dome on the roof of Jones Hall! We will observe the moon, and the planets with their moons. We will begin by surveying the history of astronomy up to the present day, and take part in some current research classifying galaxy shapes. We’ll study the formation and attributes of the sun and other stars, of the eight planets and their moons, plus the dwarf planets. Finally, we’ll situate our solar system in the galaxy and the universe.
