Before you visit this place you should know about it's dark history. Back in 1975 Charles Scovil, the head of Stamford Observatory and so-called "astronomer" (without an astronomy degree), had an old, useless dome on the grounds of the observatory which is part of the Stamford Museum and Nature Center. The dome was defective and never worked properly but no one could get the money to remove it from the observatory property. So Mr. Scovil tricked a group of high school students from New York into removing the dome from the observatory property by offering to "donate" the defective dome to them for an observatory they were building. Of course, Mr. Scovil knew that the dome was defective and would never work but he lied to the students, telling them it was a perfectly good dome that it would work fine. The students put in a great deal of hours, work, money and effort to remove the dome from the observatory property but once they got the dome to Armonk they found (to no surprise) that it was completely useless. Mr. Scovil had successfully transferred the problem of how to get rid of a two-ton dome (for free) to the high school students and his observatory looked beautiful again.

This demonstrates that Mr. Scovil is a liar and is so devious and unethical that he would trick a group of high school kids into doing something that he knew would be disastrous to them. Scovil is immoral to the very core. There are few men on this earth who are as unethical, devious and loathsome as Charles Scovil. I notified Stamford Museum and Nature Center about this injustice but they just ignored me. They were fine leaving this injustice just as it is. Therefore they are just as loathsome as their so-called "astronomer", Charles Scovil.
