Reaching for the Stars & Bringing Astronomy Down to Earth
Our Vision
Young Astronomers Discover the Stars
The Dudley Observatory strives to be a nationally recognized center
for education and outreach in astronomy.
Our Mission
The Dudley Observatory provides education and outreach programs
designed to bring the wonders of science, particularly astronomy, to
people of all ages. We cultivate interest and
understanding of science, history of science, science careers and
scientists, and help non-scientists appreciate science in an
approachable and enjoyable way.
All Dudley Observatory programs and events are developed with this
mission in mind.
