Aldrich Astronomical Society - General Meeting (Sat, May 17)
7:00 PM-10:00 PM, Anna Maria College: Science Building, 50 Sunset Lane, Paxton, MA
Aldrich Astronomical Society (AAS) is a central Massachusetts-based nonprofit tax exempt 501(3)(c) organization of amateur astronomers who have united to promote their mutual interest in observational astronomy and telescope making. Members meet on a regular basis to conduct sky viewing sessions (weather permitting) and informal lectures or discussions of current events and topics in astronomy, space science, observational equipment, and telescope making. Founded in 1932, AAS was named in honor of the late Professor Fred Aldrich of Worcester Academy, who was a long time promoter and lecturer of astronomy in the Worcester area. AAS is a member of NASAs Night Sky Network, and three members of AAS are NASA Solar System Ambassadors. Members sponsor public lectures and outdoor viewing events at a variety of locations across the region using club and membership owned resources. We also routinely manage a number of NASA Solar System Ambassador Programs throughout the year which seeks to bring knowledge of astronomy and space science into the classroom and public venues like libraries, outdoor fairs, and scout campouts. We also travel to and assist in special events at pristine observing sites, like the Conjunction in Northfield, Massachusetts, Stellafane in Springfield, Vermont, and Arunah Hill in Cummington, Massachusetts. In addition AAS provides a backyard astronomy course for the Worcester Public Schools Adult Education (Night Life) program. AAS meets, regularly, on the second and fourth Saturday of each month in the Science Building at Anna Maria College. On the first, third, and 5th Saturday of each month the AAS Mirror Workshop Group meets where they build telescopes. Membership is only $20 a year and the rewards of the hobby are out of this universe well not literally!!! For more information please check out the club's homepage at http://www.AldrichAstro.org Cost: $20/yr Membership Saturdays, through Dec 25.
