MIT Sidewalk Astrogazers

We are an outreach group of graduate students mostly in the MIT astrophysics division who want to share the Universe with you. We take telescopes around the Cambridge/Boston area to show the cosmos to the public. We have phone mounts for our telescopes so you can take your own photos home with you, and we also have a solar telescope for daytime viewing! Come to one of our free, public events to gaze into the skies and speak directly to astrophysics experts!
