Dudley Observatory, Astronomical observatory in Loudonville, US.
The Dudley Observatory operates from Siena College's grounds, offering educational programs and research facilities dedicated to astronomical study and scientific exploration.
Founded in 1852 and named after Senator Charles E. Dudley, the institution began on Goat Hill in Albany before relocating multiple times due to operational requirements.
The institution maintains a collection of astronomical manuscripts, including first editions by Galileo and Copernicus, contributing to scientific knowledge preservation.
Visitors can participate in Ask an Astronomer sessions, access the Skywatch Line for nightly celestial updates, and experience the portable Starlab planetarium.
The S-10 Particle Collector from the Gemini space program remains in the observatory collection, marking its transition from classical astronomy to space exploration research.
