BYU

Across Utah Lake, BYU students use the 36-inch telescope at the West Mountain Observatory to peer deep into the universe, capturing galaxies, nebulae and other objects millions of light-years away.

But for these students, astronomy is about more than math and physics. It’s about standing beneath a dark sky, seeing something they’ve studied for years with their own eyes, and experiencing the wonder of God's creations in a special way.

"All it takes is just a few frames on a camera and we can see things that God has intended just for us to see. Studying physics and astronomy really strengthens my testimony of the existence of a God."
