Our astronomy observation deck puts you closer to the stars than you’ve ever been before. Our Department of Physics plays host to free public observation events several times a year, during which students and members of the public can view bright sky objects such as the moon, major planets, star clusters, nebula and some deep sky objects such as the Andromeda Galaxy. At SIU, big things truly are within in reach!
