Colors of Our Sky

On a nice spring day, consider taking a stroll to the Science and Mathematics Complex to visit the “Colors of Our Sky” poster display, located in the atrium behind the planetarium. Learn why our sky is blue and sunsets orange. What are fire rainbows, ice pillars, sprites, and other colors in the sky?

While there, walk down the atrium to one of the glass display cases and view the Golden Snowball trophy. The trophy is awarded yearly to the city receiving the most snow. Buffalo State University is currently hosting the trophy on behalf of the City of Buffalo. The competition began during the winter of 1976–1977 and continues to this day. It looks like we won it again this year (winter of 2023–2024)—three years in a row! And four out of the past six years.
