WELCOME TO
BUCKHORN OBSERVATORY
This year is the 400th anniversary of the night Galileo first turned his telescope towards the heavens. What he saw changed our concept of the Earth-centered universe forever.
To mark the occasion, governments, universities, observatories and astronomy organizations around the world have declared 2009 as the International Year of Astronomy. Now we want you to share a Galileo moment too -- with your first look through a telescope. Perhaps you will view our Moon or Jupiter and its many moons. Maybe a star cluster or a galaxy will mark your Galileo moment. One thing you can be sure of, if you ever wanted to be involved in astronomy, you've chosen a great year.
