Astronomy at APO

This homepage ran on Wednesday, April 23, 2014. Content and links may have changed.

Assistant Professor of Astronomy Beth Willman led a group of students over spring break to observe at the Apache Point Observatory in New Mexico. Haverford is part of the Northeast Participation Group, a consortium of a handful of small schools leasing time on the APO 3.5m from the Astrophysical Research Consortium (ARC).

Tianyi Yang '15 photographed the ARC 3.5 m telescope. This is what the telescope looks like under long exposure.

Character

Haverford attracts intellectually curious, independent learners who value honesty, collaboration, and above all, new ways of seeing and improving the world.
