Our Village
Our dedicated Board of Directors, and volunteer Village Staff are what make MSAS a success. We are a team of scientists, researchers, educational professionals and individuals from all walks of life. Each of us are dedicated to provide quality science education to grades K-12, seasonal Graduate Students, and the general public.
Our Telescope
The Robert Brownlee Observatory is a customized solar powered, University Model 22’ astronomical dome. Housed inside is our one of a kind computer controlled 17.2" diameter research grade telescope. Mounted on top of the primary telescope is a 5” refracting telescope designed for safe solar viewing.
Our Mission
Our goal is to bridge the gap between textbook knowledge and personal experience in the sciences. We offer opportunities for public access to the “tools of science” to meet our goal.
