The Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian is a collaboration between Harvard and Smithsonian designed to ask — and ultimately answer — humanity’s greatest unresolved questions about the nature of the universe. Founded in 1973, the CfA has sought to foster innovation and propel discovery across the universe. Today, CfA is the largest astronomy organization in the world. The CfA is dedicated to exploring, understanding and sharing the wonder of the universe with all who look up at the night sky and ask: What’s out there?
