Stargazers in San Marcos can view the universe from a unique perspective. An observatory is open at Texas State on Wednesday nights on the top floor of the Supple Science Building on the university's west campus. The observatory has been in operation for several years, but many students and faculty don't even know it exists.  Texas State Physics professor Russell Doescher (Doh-share) is usually on hand to offer interpretations on what can be seen.  The observatory opens at 7 p.m. on Wednesdays.
