Come join us, 11/11 at 8pm, in the Kelly Thompson Hall first floor atrium for a night of stargazing! We'll be observing a bright Saturn, the Pleiades & Jupiter as it rises around 9pm. The Fall night sky is a beautiful sight, & you won’t want to miss it! We hope to see you there.


The Mammoth Cave event is on 9/19/25 (Friday) at 7pm. The Hilltopper Astronomy Club (HAC) will be working with Mammoth Cave National Park (MACA) to provide a night of stargazing, focusing primarily on the Saturn eclipse that will be happening later that night!


Come join us, 10/22 at 8pm, in the Kelly Thompson Hall first floor atrium to be whisked away for a night of stargazing! We'll be looking at Saturn with its disappearing rings, and even the Pleiades as they begin to rise in the Fall night sky.


Public Observing Night is finally here! Join us in the KTH Lobby at 8pm so you can be escorted to the Rooftop Observatory. (Side note: tonight is not to be confused with HAC’s Observation night on 9/21/23.)


Remember Public Observing Night here at the KTH Rooftop Observatory on 9/19/23! BE SURE to meet in the KTH Lobby for an escort up to the Observatory.

Gradescope allows us to grade more efficiently and fairly than ever before. It is also easy to use both for faculty and for students and is fully integrated with Blackboard at WKU.


Did you know that the light you see is only a fraction of the entire electromagnetic spectrum? Visit WKU's Hardin Planetarium as we learn about the cosmos and the many types of light that shine across it! As always, shows are free and open to the public!

This week we honor the men and women who have perished exploring our beautiful universe. This year marks the 20th anniversary of 2003’s Columbia accident. Please take a moment in your day to remember these brave heroes

We work to never repeat mistakes from our past. On our Day of Remembrance, we honor all of our fallen heroes, including the crews of Apollo 1, Challenger STS-51L, and Columbia STS-107: go.nasa.gov/3Y1j7uS Feb. 1 marks 20 years since the Columbia tragedy. #NASARemembers
