A team of scientists from NASA-JPL presenting a Physics Colloquium about the Physics of Anime and its ability to engage a worldwide audience through a mix of science fact, sci-fi, and cultural significance. Interesting and entertaining!

One of the greatest physicists of his generation, Chen-Ning Yang (seen here with Feynman) passed away recently. Known for his work on parity non-conservation and gauge theory, he also founded the Yang Institute of Theoretical Physics (YITP) at Stony Brook University.

Join us tonight for a special Halloween edition of Nights at the Observatory 8pm-9pm on the roof of the Hall of Science. Costumes welcome!

Please join us this evening for observing the Moon 8pm-9pm.

Dr. Margaret Lazzarini from CSULA presenting a study of high-mass X-ray binaries and their impact on galactic history and star formation rates.

Prof. Geoffrey Lovelace laid out the future of gravitational wave astronomy in our Monday Physics Colloquium. Many exciting discoveries lie ahead thanks to next-generation instruments like the Cosmic Explorer.

Nights at the observatory is not scheduled this evening due to Veterans Day. Check in next week!

Due to a cloudy forecast, there is no public observing this evening. There will be no observing next week either (25 Nov.), due to fall break.

Join us for observing tonight 8pm-9pm on the roof of the Hall of Science!

At last Monday's Physics Colloquium, Dr. Gil Refael (Caltech) presented interesting ideas about future devices and applications based on novel materials with topological features.

🎉 Congratulations to Francis Halzen — the winner of our 2026 APS Medal for Exceptional Achievement in Research. He’s recognized for his work discovering cosmic neutrinos as the principal investigator of IceCube Neutrino Observatory. Read more from Halzen in #APSNews: go.aps.org/4pmAzbj

Correction: the HSCI elevator to the roof is under maintenance, so we will not have observing tonight. Keep an eye out in January for announcements regarding our Nights at the Observatory series next semester!

Celebrating the end of the colloquium series led by Dr. Grefe this semester. A great series of presentations and encounters of our students with professionals from other institutions and industry.

Happy Holidays and New Year from the Physics faculty, students and staff! We may come from different places, but we are one community!
