Kopernik Space Center


The area’s Kopernik Space Center observatory is the largest public observatory in the northeast United States. Its creation was inspired by the 500th anniversary of astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus (called Mikolaj Kopernik in Polish) in 1973, and the Space Center opened the following year. The observatory has three telescopes, a 6" Astrophysics Refractor, 14" Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain, and a 20" Ritchey-Chretien telescope.

In addition to operating a scientific observatory, the facility also provides outreach programs for community children, educating them about astronomy and science. A pool of students called the Kopernik Talent Search that take classes on Friday nights and Saturdays. During the week local schools have field trips, where students can safely observe the sun and see planets in the daytime. Kopernik also has a large summer program that includes one and two week residential institutes for middle school and high school students.

As always, make sure you leave plenty of time to get back to the Greater Binghamton Airport in time for your connection and enjoy your layover city rather than whiling away the time leaning up against your luggage in the departures lounge.
