Overview

The Astrophysics program offered by Alfred University's students have a unique opportunity to view firsthand the beauty and wonder of the nighttime sky. The Stull observatory at Alfred University houses one of the larger optical telescopes in NY state, the .82 meter Austin-Fellows Telescope. We also have a remotely operable 16-inch DFM telescope, a 9-inch refractor, and 16-inch and 20-inch Newtonian telescopes as well as a small radio telescope.

Key Facts

Unsure how studying Astrophysics could help your job prospects? Monthly, even weekly, commercial spaceflights continue to become more and more common, privatized space travel experiences for civilians have already begun to take off, the retirement of the ISS ushering in a new era in space inhabitance is on the horizon, NASA's Space Launch System is making preparations for its first manned trip around the moon in 2024 (its second mission to the moon in as many years), and we're reaching further and further into the cosmos with advances in space imaging and telescopy.
