WHAT IS THE AAA?
Since 1927 the Amateur Astronomers Association has been serving our members and the public in all aspects of amateur astronomy. If you want to keep up with the space program, learn what's happening at the frontiers of astronomical research, or just appreciate the beauty of the night sky, we can help.
Our new headquarters are in the Downtown Community Center in lower Manhattan at 120 Warren Street, between Greenwich and West Streets.
We sponsor lectures at the Museum of Natural History by leading researchers, provide economical classes in astronomy to members and hold a seminar on Recent Advances in Astronomy once a month at New York University.
We also host observing sessions at several locations in the New York metropolitan area. Stop by and look through members' telescopes. If you're thinking of getting a telescope or binoculars, you can get advice from experienced stargazers.
The club also holds a monthly Observers Group meeting, where members can discuss equipment, observing techniques, recent observations and upcoming celestial events.
Check out what's in the sky this month. We produce a monthly newsletter, Eyepiece, containing several articles of interest. Be sure to take a look at some of our members' photos and articles.
The club's events for this month are listed on the calendar. We hope you will attend some of them.
