It's MTSU's naked eye observatory. Some people have called it "Stones River Henge." It's a giant sundial, a calendar, an astronomical observatory, and more. Astronomer Eric Klumpe, who conceived of this beautiful and unique learning laboratory, paid homage to the ancient Greek astronomers by calling it the Uranidrome. URANI from the Greek word for sky and DROMOS meaning a large specially prepare place.
