The Rutherford Observatory

The Rutherford Observatory is the astronomy observatory atop of Pupin Physics Laboratories. It is named after Lewis Morris Rutherford, an astronomer and trustee from 1858 to 1884. It effectively replaced Wilde Observatory.

The Astronomy Department hosts periodic "Open Nights" during the school year when the roof-top observatory is open to the public to view the stars.[1]
