Stargazing: Past and Present

Jan. 2020 - June 2022

Library Main Level

Humans have been gazing upon the stars since ancient times. Musselman Library’s Stargazing exhibit takes you from Mayan astronomers in 3114 BCE, to Gettysburg College’s first observatory and guest registry of 1874, to the present day selection of Special Collections “heavenly” rare astronomy books.  The Stargazing exhibit, located in five display cases on the main level by the Browsing Room, will be available to view now through June 2022.
