This #WhereAmIWednesday, we're at Mount Laguna Observatory (MLO)! SDSU’s MLO is a learning lab for budding astronomers. 🔭 

Founded in 1968, MLO is a research tool for the university’s astronomy department and its partners. The five-acre property consists of four white domes, each with a large telescope, on the mountainside with views unobstructed by the surrounding pine and oak trees. Our students lead observational projects with these telescopes under the advisement of the faculty. Its remoteness, along with the high percentage of clear nights and excellent seeing, makes Mount Laguna one of the best overall observatory sites in the continental United States.

In the summer, it opens to the public with a Saturday night visitor program led by master’s students. In addition to completing their degree programs, these students conduct research, work as teaching associates, and organize outreach events such as planetarium shows and star parties.
