What is this site?

This site hosts images of our beautiful universe, as collected and processed by astronomy faculty and students at WSU.

Some of these data were collected with the Skynet Robotic Telescope Network or the Las Cumbres Observatory.

Projects are supervised by faculty in the Astronomy Group of the Dept of Physics & Astronomy at WSU.

WSU's mascot, Butch Cougar, is shown walking on Mars with the text, "Mars is crimson"
