Historic Sagan property in Ithaca to become new observatory
An historic Ithaca property once home to the late world-renowned astronomer Carl Sagan is preparing for a new chapter in scientific exploration following an investment to develop a new research observatory on the site. Adam Weitsman said he is funding the development of a new research observatory at 900 Stewart Ave., partnering with Harvard University astrophysicist Dr. Avi Loeb , director of the Galileo Project , to honor Sagan’s legacy. The observatory will also create new opportunities for scientific discovery and public engagement, according to a statement Tuesday, Nov. 10, announcing the observatory. “When I purchased this property, I wanted to do something meaningful that would honor Carl Sagan and his incredible legacy," Weitsman said in the statement.

Cornell 7 case spikes student concerns at WCHS
One woman. Seven men. One university. For many students, Cornell, or any top university, represents an opportunity to pursue new ambitions and gain independence. Instead, a sexual assault allegation became the center of discussion amongst students, raising questions about campus safety and accountability. On Oct. 19, 2024, a former Cornell student who remains unnamed, referred to as Jane Doe, alleged that seven men sexually assaulted her over the course of seven hours while she was intoxicated. After almost two years of attempting to have her voice heard, including filing complaints with Cornell Police on Nov. 8, 2024 and issuing a formal Title IX complaint against the university on Jan. 14, 2025, Doe finally pursued legal action.
