<h2>Astronomy @ Stony Brook</h2>
</header>
<span>The Astronomy program at Stony Brook was formed in
1968 as part of the Department of Earth and Space
Sciences and administratively moved in 1998 to what is
now the <A HREF="http://physics.sunysb.edu">Department
of Physics and Astronomy</A>. Since its inception, the
program has expanded into broad areas of galactic and
extragalactic astronomy, nuclear astrophysics, stellar
astrophysics, and cosmology. It offers strong
undergraduate programs leading to the baccalaureate
and graduate programs leading to the Master of Science
and Doctor of Philosophy. Our offices are located in
the Earth and Space Sciences building, on the 4th
floor (marked <em>PH</em> in the elevator).</span>

<h2>Visiting Us</h2>
</header>
<span>
The Astronomy group is housed in the Earth and Space
Sciences building at Stony Brook University. The
campus is reachable via the Long Island Railroad. The
closest airport is Islip-MacArthur, but JFK and
Laguardia work well too. See
the <a href="http://www.stonybrook.edu/maps-and-directions/">campus
directions</a> for details on the options and maps.
