Vassar College Observatory Poughkeepsie, New York | Eric Myers | CC-BY-NC | 0.11.x | English | |
The Class of 1951 Observatory at Vassar College opened in 1997, replacing the original campus Observatory from 1865. The two domes each house large reflecting telescopes, one with a 20 inch diameter and the other 32 inches in diameter -- one of the two largest research telescopes in the state of New York. |
USMA Cadet Observatory West Point, New York | Eric Myers | CC-BY-NC | 0.11.x | English | |
The Cadet Observatory at the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, sits on the top of Bartlett Hall, home of the Department of Physics and Nuclear Engineering (PANE). The pictures for this landscape were taken (in 2017) on the open-air observation platform on the roof next to the dome, which is used for star parties and solar observations. The dome houses a 12" Mead LX 200 Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope which sits on a Paramount MEII mount. This new observatory was opened in 2016, replacing an earlier observatory on a different corner of the building. Starting with the class of 2020, West Point now offers an academic major in Space Sciences. |

To the south is Wooster Hall, which was renovated in 2017, including the new orange paint scheme, and which houses Engineering Labs, the Psychology department, and admissions and financial offices. The photos were taken in July of 2021. |
Walkway Over The Hudson, Poughkeepsie, New York | Eric Myers | CC-BY-NC | 0.11.x | English | |
Walkway Over The Hudson Historic State Park spans the Hudson river in the state of New York between Poughkeepsie and Highland. It was originally a railroad bridge, which was completed in 1889 and was in service until 1974, when it was closed after a fire. The bridge is 1.28 miles long, with the center deck 212 feet above the river (which is at sea level -- the river actually flows both directions with the ocean tides far inland beyond Poughkeepsie). The bridge was later refurbished into a pedestrian walkway, which opened in 2009, becoming the longest footbridge in the world. |

The United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, was established in 1802, at a location originally used by the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. The photos used to assemble this landscape were taken from the parade field at West Point during Branch Week. Visible in front of Washington Hall one can see, among other things, two AH-64 Apache helicopters, two CH-47 Chinook helicopters, a Stryker armored fighting vehicle, and an M-1 Abrams Tank. |
