As darkness falls, the walk to the Science Building is interrupted by a stranger who comes suddenly out of the dark. As you reach the Science building an eerie silence fills the air, but only broken by the echo of footsteps as you ascend to the fourth floor that houses City College s observatory. In the observatory, you can find a real creature of the night, he is Mr. Propst, a professor of astronomy who looks like a real eccentric scientific. He has hair as white as snow and a dry cut voice with a devilish grin. As he prepares the telescope, he says, Just remember one thing, many things that you are going to see are their appearance millions of years ago.
Astronomy is the only science that can really travel in the past.
