The foundations of Michigan State University's first astronomy building recently came to light, showing a long history of telescope work in the Wolverine State.
Built by a professor and his students, the structure and its telescope cost about $450 in 1881. Archaeology students will excavate the site next summer to learn about the university’s first observatory.
