ASTRONOMY DAY is coming on SATURDAY, MAY 17! – Click on Events in the Menu bar above and scroll down to “Astronomy Day” to learn more information. And join us this Friday, April 25, at 8:00 pm, for our monthly meeting with our guest speaker Dr. Michael Thorpe from Goddard Space Flight Center. The title of his presentation is “Tracking Sediment on Earth and Mars”. Sediments and rocks record a complex history from their generation to deposition. Mars preserves the very rich history of this process, and Perseverance with its Mars Sample Return Campaign, allows for comparing this process with Earth’s.

And learn about Amateur Astronomers, Inc. the Astronomy club that makes its home at Sperry Observatory located on the campus of Union College in Cranford, NJ and how you can join. And, weather permitting, we will do observing through our 2 large telescopes, a 24 inch reflector and a 10 inch refractor.

Amateur Astronomers, Inc. (also known as AAI), celebrated 75 years as an astronomy club in November, 2024!

Sperry Observatory will be open to the public this Friday, April 25,  at 10:00 pm, after the monthly meeting. Join us in the Roy Smith Theater at 8:00 pm with our guest speaker followed by observing at 10:00 pm in the Observatory.  Register at the entrance to the Observatory.
