Cómo Princeton ve las estrellas

El cielo nocturno es un objeto de fascinación para muchos, y la comunidad de Princeton no es una excepción. En noches selectas durante el semestre, estudiantes graduados en el departamento de astrofísicas organizan noches de visitas guiadas en el observatorio de Peyton Hall, abierto al público. La Asociación Astrónomos Amateurs de Princeton usa Peyton Hall para compartir conocimiento, también, mientras el Club de Astronomía de Princeton alberga conferencias invitadas, pausas de estudio con temática espacial, y astronomía en el patio trasero de Forbes. El ‘Prince’ habla con investigadores del cielo nocturno para comprender mejor el paisaje estelar de Princeton, y las oportunidades esclarecedoras que ofrece.
