Message from the President

Whether you join a club observing event, head out on your own, or simply take a moment to gaze upwards from a park or balcony, I hope you’ll take advantage of the improving weather and enjoy the wonders April’s night sky has to offer.

Can the Risk of Asteroid Destruction Bring us Together?

An asteroid doesn’t care about borders, politics, or cultural differences. Astronomy shows us not just how small we are in the grand scheme, but also how extraordinary it is that we can stand beneath the stars and learn from them.

Each evening, we would take our folding chairs out to the beach to observe the beautiful sunsets over the water. The sunsets were always predictable, except this one day. Something changed. Something special happened. Something got my attention. Wow! What is that?
