Murillo Family Observatory is a teaching and research observatory for
California State University, San Bernardino, located on Badger Hill on the northern portion of campus, in
San Bernardino, the
U.S. state of
California. As of 2010[update], it was the newest research observatory in the Inland Empire and in the
California State University system.[1] The observatory consists of two telescopes which are used for research and teaching; a 20-inch

In addition to the research telescopes the observatory has an observation deck with piers where small telescopes may be set up for undergraduate laboratory classes or open house nights. It serves as both an academic and community resource, with public viewing nights and special astronomy events for the community.[2]
