Welcome to the Penn State Astronomy Club homepage!
The panorama of the nighttime sky has always provided endless fascination
for both professional and casual observers. For many, viewing the universe
in all its splendor while contemplating the grandeur of nature and the
apparent uniqueness of our place in it evokes a profoundly involved sense of
wonder. We are seeing, first-hand, the greatest of all mysteries, the
totality of all that exists at the largest possible scale.
Founded in 1973, the Penn State Astronomy Club is composed of
people who enjoy observing and learning about the universe. Now into our
thirty-third year, we have a rich and active tradition in promoting interest
in the heavens to the general public.
We specialize in introducing astronomy at a non-technical
level. Our members derive a special satisfaction by sharing the opportunity
to view the nighttime sky with fellow members and the public.
Feel free to email the club officers with any questions, and please come to the next meeting if you're interested in joining the Astro Club, regardless of major. Thanks for visiting!
