The University of Massachusetts Lowell will soon be opening its very own observatory thanks to the generosity of the late Richard Schueller (Class of ’ 87 Physics) and wife Susan Schueller (class of ‘ 87 Computer science). A new observatory dome has recently been constructed on south campus, and equipped with telescope and equipment donated by the Schuellers, who also established an endowment to support student participation in astronomy. The observatory will be hosting regular public observing nights, and welcomes community groups such as schools, clubs etc by appointment. Please see the observatory webpage for more information.
More information can be found in the The Boston Globe news article: "UMass Lowell to open new observatory, allowing students, and public to see the stars."
