Undaunted: The Forgotten Giants of the Allegheny Observatory

Undaunted: The Forgotten Giants of the Allegheny Observatory 2012 Directed by Dan Handley

A story of ingenious minds in a little known place, whose remarkable stories of tenacity and determination in the pursuit of furthering science and technology have nearly been forgotten.

This film tells the surprising story of how the Allegheny Observatory has been a world leader in the study of the stars since the 1860s. Self-educated, and often facing unrelenting hardships, the people associated with the Allegheny Observatory defied the odds to make enormous contributions to the founding of astrophysics and early aviation.
