Cline Observatory - Fall Astronomy Day Speakers Past Editions

Each year, the Cline Observatory at Guilford Technical Community College celebrates its Fall Astronomy Day in commemoration of the opening of the observatory during fall semester 1997. Our intention is to bring prominent scientists to campus to share in the latest astronomical research.
