Eyes on the Sky
A celebration of the International Year of Astronomy

Turn your eyes skyward and reawaken your curiosity about the world beyond terra firma. Whet your appetite in October with a series lunar-themed programs for the entire family. Then join us on Tuesday, November 17 at noon, when the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Library unveils never-before-seen multi-wavelength images of deep space produced in collaboration by NASA’s Great Observatories — the Hubble Space Telescope, Spitzer Space Telescope, and Chandra X-Ray Observatory.

The International Year of Astronomy Great Observatories Image Unveiling is made possible by special funding from NASA’s Science Mission Directorate. The project is a collaboration between the Space Telescope Science Institute, the Spitzer Science Center and the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.

The image unveiling takes place in the King Library’s Fourth Street Lobby and will be followed on Saturday, November 21, with a day of discovery activities for all ages, including lectures by faculty from the SJSU Physics and Astronomy Deptartment. Our celebration is co-sponsored by the Friends of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Library. Return to this page for future updates. For more information, call (408) 808-2397.
