NEW YORK: Vanderbilt Dyer Observatory is hosting several events to celebrate 25 years of groundbreaking science and images from the Hubble Space Telescope, perhaps the world’s most famous scientific instrument.
Vanderbilt University is fortunate enough to have the HST’s founding project scientist on the faculty, Distinguished Research Professor of Astrophysics C. R. O’Dell. As HST project scientist, O’Dell led the effort of bringing this great telescope to fruition. He was also the one who suggested the space telescope be named after astronomer Edwin Hubble.
On Tuesday, April 14, Dyer will host an open house from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Visitors will be able to interact with Vanderbilt astronomers and view several large-format HST images as well as a rare one-fifth scale model of the orbiting observatory, one of two built. No reservations are needed for the open-house event.
