Some Texas State students and faculty enjoy star-gazing every Wednesday. Kate Gisi has more in this Bobcat Update.

You don't have to be a science major to find some enjoyment in gazing into the vast night sky. Every week you can find students with various interests coming together at the star gazing observatory in the Supple Science building. Make your way to the fourth floor and find a group of enthusiasts equipped with telescopes and binoculars ready to share their interests with you. On a clear night when the observatory is open, you can see the moon and its craters, Jupiter and its largest moons, and a number of famous constellations.

"The star gazing observatory at Texas State opened in 1994 and since then, every Wednesday about 15 students come up here to check out the stars. This really is a secret gem here at Texas State and you ought to come experience it for yourself. It's out of this world. For Bobcat Update, I'm Kate Gisi.
