Margaret M. Jacoby Observatory is an astronomical observatory owned and operated by the Community College of Rhode Island. It opened in 1978 and is located in Warwick, Rhode Island, United States. The Observatory was renamed in 1995 to honor Prof. Margaret M. Jacoby, the founder of the CCRI physics department, who secured the funding for the construction of the Observatory. The original 14" aperture telescope was replaced with a 16" Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope in 2009.
