San Diego State University has the only standalone Astronomy department in the California State University system. We also operate a research observatory on Mount Laguna, which is a short drive east of San Diego. And we are the only campus to offer bachelor's and master's degrees in astronomy under the guidance of renowned researchers.

In this episode, you will hear from two of our own world-renowned Astronomy researchers: Dr. Jerome Orosz and Dr. William Welsh, who have recently made international news in the world of Astronomy.

They will talk about their amazing discovery, but also why these space discoveries should matter to the rest of us, their collaboration with NASA, and how our Astronomy programs are impacting students and their future as scientists.
