Starstruck

March 19, 2021

We're seeing stars through the telescope at the Rutherfurd Observatory! The observatory was named after Lewis Morris Rutherfurd, great grandson of the Lewis Morris who signed the Declaration of Independence. Rutherfurd was a Columbia Trustee and an avid "amateur" astronomer who took the first telescopic photographs of the moon and sun.

Photo of the Week is a feature of Columbia News that captures moments from around the University as a way to virtually bring our community together.
