Physics professor Mark Jacobs has spent the last six months rebuilding the telescope in the NMU observatory, constructing a custom-designed mounting that let the telescope follow the sky accurately so that it can be used to take photographs. Jacobs enlisted the help of engineering technology instructor Cale Polkinghorn and physics student Amelia Shirtz to do the construction. Learn more |

Several members of NMU Physics Club and Dr. Neil Russell went to see the Paulding Light near Watersmeet, Mich., recently. This has become an annual fall outing for the club. The trip included fish fry at dinner, mucking through the woods and attempting to spot the ghost-light phenomenon. Although some lights were seen, club members plan to come again next year to get a better look.
Students and faculty in the Physics Department are invited to participate in a number of outreach efforts, including interactions with students at Sandy Knoll Elementary School, assisting with Science Olympiad and Project Kaleidoscope, and participating in astronomical activities to supplement elementary students' study of the solar system.
